chicken stuffed eggplant

I had an eggplant in the fridge and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it so I adapted this recipe from here. My husband claims he doesn't like eggplant so I was determined to make something he would eat. In general, you should know that I'm not good at following recipes exactly. I like to get inspiration from recipes online, and then do my own thing. Sometimes its good, sometimes its not. This time, we definitely liked it.


INGREDIENTS:
large eggplant
package of chicken cutlets
slice of bread
a few garlic cloves
red pepper
onion
olive oil and olive oil spray
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, turmeric
DIRECTIONS:
Wash and cut eggplant in half lengthwise. Scoop out the middle and set aside. Spray with oil spray and microwave the two halves for 5 minutes. In a large frying pan, saute onion, garlic cloves, and red pepper with some olive oil. Cube eggplant and chicken and saute with vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, cayenne, lemon juice, and turmeric. When done, throw in cubed bread (I used spelt because I don't eat wheat) and mix well. Spoon chicken and vegetable mixture into two eggplant halves, inside of a large oven-safe pan. Bake uncovered at 350 for about 15 min.
