Step 1
Slice eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Fry eggplant in batches 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 3
In the same skillet, brown ground chicken with diced onion, breaking up meat, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes. Stir in oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Melt 3 tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, then slowly add milk, stirring constantly until sauce thickens, ~4 minutes.
Step 5
Layer eggplant and chicken mixture in the skillet, then pour béchamel over top. Scatter feta across the surface.
Step 6
Broil 4–5 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Let rest 2 minutes before serving.
