Ingredients

• 1/2 large eggplant, sliced into rounds
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into cubes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 cups spinach

Directions

Sprinkle salt evenly over both sides of eggplant slices; set aside for 5 minutes. Cut eggplant into cubes.

Cook and stir chicken, garlic, and soy sauce together in a large skillet over medium heat until the chicken is nearly cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.

Stir mushrooms and black pepper into the chicken mixture; continue cooking until the mushrooms brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
