#sfcharity50pc Chicken in the eggplants by @papi.mati

This simple meal is perfect for the days when we have plenty of things to do and don't have time to spend in the kitchen, but when we still want to cook something nutritive and delicious. Chicken with the eggplants is pure joy. It may not be the fanciest meal, probably not the best choice when we want to impress our friends on a banquette, but as the lunch, in the middle of the week, it works perfectly well. When I am making it, my boys always ask for the second plate - if it's not the best recommendation, don't know what could be :)

Ingredients (5 plates):

---

---

1️⃣ Wash the eggplants and cut them for the thin slices. If you use rather Bigg eggplants, you can cut each slice in half

---

2️⃣ Chop the onion into the small cubes. To avoid crying while chopping, make sure there is good air circulation in the room.

---

3️⃣ Fry the onion on the pan with a bit of hot oil. Add spices you like. I recommend frying the onion with sweet paprika, salt, and a bit of chili

---

4️⃣ After a while, when the onion has changed its color and became "shiny" or "glassy", add the eggplant, soya sauce, and half a glass of water. Boil everything in a covered pot. You can add extra spices, like pepper, dried herbs, or even curry

---

5️⃣ After cooking for 20 minutes, add the cream and chopped parsley. Mix well, boil for one minute more, and leave. If the sauce is too liquidy, you can add a bit of flour to dense it.

---

6️⃣ Cut the chicken into small cubes, fry it on the oil with selected spices (I did use quite a similar spices to the sauce: sweet paprika, chili, salt, a bit of Curcuma and pepper)

---

7️⃣ Mix the chicken with the rest of the sauce. Boil your favorite pasta in salted water until it's al'dente. Serve pasta with the sauce on the top.

Bon appetit!
