Try this quick and easy way to prepare chicken breasts, baked with flavorful babaganoush. The fresh eggplant spread lends its slightly garlicky and smoky flavor to enhance chicken. Plus, the coating of babaganoush helps seal in juices, making for a more moist, flavorful chicken breast. With babaganoush that is labeled kosher for Passover, this dish becomes a quick way to brighten up the Passover table with a burst of flavor. It’s also naturally gluten-free.
Chicken Baked with Babaganoush
Servings
2 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Sabra babaganoush
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken breasts in a large baking dish. Spoon babaganoush on top of each chicken breast, so the top of each breast is evenly covered with a thick layer of babaganoush. Sprinkle top with paprika and with some of the parsley.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken breast, until chicken is cooked through. Serve with additional chopped parsley as a garnish.
Usually chicken breasts are dry. The babaganoush made it so juicy. Best of all, this is so easy to prepare. Thanx.
made this last night for dinner what a great chol hamoed dish-so easy and tasty
Planning on making this Friday night.
Closed or opened in the oven?!
Great dish. I have made it many times. Chicken comes out juicy and full flavored. Delicious.
This sounds like tonight’s dinner!! Thanks.
Michele,
I haven’t tried it with chicken on the bone, but it should work great. Just cook the bone-in chicken longer than the breasts, so 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, and then check the meat to see if it is done. Enjoy.
Can this be made with chicken on the bone?
I love baba ganoush! What a simple and yummy way to make it into a meal. Will definitely have to try this.
Sounds yummy.
I was not able to find baba ganoush at my local market, and substituted Punjab Eggplant made by Tasty-Bite (kosher indian side-dishes) – results were vey good!
I love how good this looks saved it for my grocery list this week.
Made this, it is so delicious. This will definitely be on my future lists to make again!
