Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and salt, spread on sheet pan.

  2. Step 2

    Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Brown in a skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp olive oil, stirring often, until no pink remains, ~8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir tomato paste, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper into chicken. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk Greek yogurt, egg, half the Pecorino, salt, and pepper together until smooth.

    Layer on the sheet pan: eggplant, chicken mixture, yogurt cream, remaining Pecorino. Bake until golden, ~12 minutes.
