Dinner:  Eggplant & Chicken Parmesan

I simply heated some EVOO in my cast iron pan and sautéed some salted chicken tender strips until browned on both sides.  I removed the chicken and threw an entire eggplant (diced into one inch cubes) into the pan with a little bit more EVOO, until cooked thoroughly and slightly browned.  Then I add some jarred tomato sauce to the pan with the eggplant and then cubed the cooked chicken and added that as well.  I topped it all with some parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese and put it under the broil to brown. 

Water with lemon

Dessert:  1 Gala apple & water
