1 lg. eggplant or about 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders or breasts
1/4 c milk
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1 c Italian bread crumbs (2 c. whole crutons blended or Ritz crackers and add a tsp of Italian seasoning)
1 jar spaghetti sauce
3/4 large red pepper, diced
1-2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
Preheat broiler. Cut eggplant 1/4" thick or cut chicken so it's not so fat. Dip in milk then coat in crumbs mixed with garlic salt. Place on sprayed cookie sheet. Broil 5 minutes on each side.
Remove from oven and decrease it to 325.
Spread 1/4 c. sauce on bottom of 9x13" pan. Top with eggplant/chicken and remaining sauce. Top with peppers and rest of the sauce. Sprinkle with cheeses.
Bake for 40-60 minutes or until cooked through and cheese is browned. (Covered, uncover last 10 min.)
Serve over spaghetti or egg noodles.
