Step 1
Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch rounds and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let sit for 5 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant slices and cook until golden and tender, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook the chicken over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), about 6 minutes per side.
Step 4
Slice the tomatoes and chicken. Arrange the eggplant on plates, top with chicken and tomato slices, and scatter fresh basil leaves over the top. Serve warm.
