Ingredients:
Eggplant:
3 medium sized eggplants - quartered
8 cloves of garlic - chopped
Healthy handful of Italian parsley - chopped (not finely chopped)
1 large yellow onion - sliced
Olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
Dashes of Sea Salt
Dashes of Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Chicken:
3 lbs. of boneless chicken breast

Healthy handful of Italian parsley - chopped (not finely)
3 cloves of garlic - chopped
Dashes of Curry powder
Dashes of Paprika
Dashes of Fresh Ground Black Pepper

Dashes of Sea Salt
1 tablespoon of Brown Sugar
Juice of ½ lemon
¼ cup of olive oil
Marinade to pour over the finished dish:
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup olive oil
Dash of Sea Salt
Dashes of Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Quarter the eggplant lengthwise and slice, combine with the chopped garlic, parsley and onion and drizzle a little olive oil over the veggies. Season this with salt and pepper and grill.
Combine the ingredients for the marinade and pour over the chicken. Let this sit in refrigerator for and hour or so, or overnight or overnight if you wish.
Heat a griddle with a drizzle of olive oil and place the chunks of eggplant, slices of onion, garlic and parsley on the griddle. Grill until the veggies turn golden on both sides.
Place on platter and cover to keep warm while you grill the chicken.
Place the marinated chicken on the griddle and grill until one side turns golden, then flip and continue to grill on the other side, until the chicken turns golden and the juices run clear.
Tip: The chicken will turn firm to the touch when it is done, but do not let it become hard to the touch otherwise it will be dry and you will not enjoy it.
Combine the ingredients the lemon, olive oil and seasonings to pour over the finished dish and serve.
This dish goes great with a crusty loaf of bread and a side salad.
