Tempting Oven Baked Chicken & Aubergines (Kotopoulo me Melitzanes sto fourno)
Hiiii, just got back from my Dutch lesson…Yes, I have been taking Dutch lessons for a year on and off. Trying to learn a language that is more difficult than the Greek language!! If your a native English speaker it’s very confusing. For example let’s say you go to the supermarket and your at the register to pay, instead of 51.00 euros which is the total amount you see, they tell you the amount is 15.00 euros, they switch the numbers around….I still can’t understand why this is done. 🙂 But I have to admit I have a super great teacher who talks slowly and I can understand her and she has helped me so I am able to understand what I’m reading 🙂 at least most of the time and I can also write a bit, but talking Uxxxxxx!!!…That’s a whole different story. 🙂 I also have my Dutch friends who have been super supportive and try to talk to me in Dutch but then for some reason the conversation quickly turns into English..hehehe (back to the recipe) 🙂
One of the first things my mom gave me before I got married was a Greek Cookbook from a Greek Chef from back in the 60’s. When I started going through the Cookbook I noticed that it had some wonderful recipes and colorful pictures, at the time I thought to myself how so far ahead of his time he was for a Greek Chef. (When we first moved to the Netherlands the first thing I packed was this cookbook just love it) The first recipe I tried from his cookbook, and mind you I was barely speaking, writing or reading Greek at the time

I had chicken tenderloins, so I thought to fry them stuffed with cheese, but thinking about stuffing the cheese, coating, and then frying… just seemed like too much work. So instead of stuffing, coating, and frying I just baked it in the oven.Hey, this way is healthy, so let's just say this works, lol.Mayonnaise works as a substitute for flour and eggs.Use reduced calorie mayonnaise to make it even more healthy.

Oven Baked Chicken Lasagna with a Refreshing Taste Oven Baked Chicken Lasagna with a Refreshing Taste
I always love trying out recipes that have chicken as the main ingredient, I prefer white meat rather than red and chicken usually is my first go to favorite. This recipe has been around a very long time in my kitchen, so if you love chicken then this recipe is one that you will truly enjoy.A colorful meat sauce with the added peppers and carrots make a much lighter version than the usual beef sauce. I have topped the lasagna with the Bechamel Sauce recipe I posted yesterday, and added the delicious Parmesan cheese for a lovely crust. Every bite of this tasty lasagna has a lovely and delicate taste that just wants you going back for more. 🙂

This is my second re-creation of items available at the food court in Costco supermarkets, following the "Baked Bulgoli". This time it's "Baked Chicken," a dish of chicken with tons of white sauce in a huge piece of bread. That dense bread seemed too hard to re-create so I just use tortillas.If you don't have any Krazy Salt, use regular salt and pepper, and some garlic powder if you have it. Recipe by syusyusyu -
