GRILLED CHICKEN AND EGGPLANT WITH MOZZARELLA AND TOMATOES



Grilled Chicken and Eggplant with Mozzarella and Tomatoes image

As the tomato vines burst forth with the vibrant and versatile summer fruit, let them land on this plate of chicken-and-eggplant "caprese." This riff on the beloved Italian salad adds grilled chicken breast, grilled eggplant, kalamata olives, and fresh parsley but the tomatoes remain the stars. They add acidity and a burst of freshness with each bite of this satisfying salad dinner.

Provided by Sarah Carey

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (4 small)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 medium eggplants (1 1/2 pounds total), sliced 1/2-inch-thick
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley and mint, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
1 pound mixed tomatoes, such as cherry and heirloom, sliced
1 ball (8 ounces) fresh mozzarella, sliced

  • Toss eggplants with 3 tablespoons oil, season, and grill, flipping once, until charred in places and tender, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let stand until fully softened, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grill chicken, flipping once, until cooked through and charred in places, about 3 minutes a side. Stir together olives, remaining 1/4 cup oil, herbs, and vinegar; season to taste.
