2 tbsp red wine vinegar
4 chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil

Method

ONE:
Slice eggplant in ½ and make a criss cross pattern on flesh, being careful not to cut through the skin

TWO
Cut onion & capsicums in ¼’s

THREE
Place all vegetables into a roasting tray, drizzle with oil, vinegar and a generous amount of salt and roast @ 150c for 60mins

Tips & Tricks

Another Food Blogger used a pre-made blackened seasoning rub but you can make your own by mixing 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp chilli or cayenne powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp brown sugar

The vegetables will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days and can be reheated in the oven/microwave

Grilling the chicken is best as when you fry it the spice rub can tend to burn a little
