Michael Angelo says: This unique and delicious recipe features fresh from the field eggplant sliced and baked to perfection. We layer it with whole-milk ricotta and trational Italian Bolognese sauce made from fresh, white meat chicken breast sauteed with carrots and celery, vine-ripened tomatoes, white wine and fresh cream. We top it with Bechamel (an Italian white sauce), mozzarella and imported Pecorino Romano.

Nicole says: Michael Angelo’s is not miserly with the cheese, both in the topping and the ricotta layer. The think casserole contains large eggplant peices, which taste pretty good but they are a tiny bit rubbery and tough to cut, so you end up with a mouthful of unadulterated eggplant, which is a shame when there’s all that cheese to go with. The chicken bolognese sauce is definitely tasty, but the meat bits are very tiny and the tomato content is a pittance. Okay, Mike, I guess it’s okay to hold the tomatoes since you give me cheese. This is a nice, quick and easy meal, but nothing to rave about.

According to the nutritional information, Michael Angelo’s Eggplant and Chicken is pretty freaking healthy, a plus considering all that cheese and the heartiness. Go for this meal if you’re craving eggplant. I like eggplant, but it doesn’t send chills through my body. Otherwise, this is something dependable to have around, but mediocre when compared to actual Italian cooking.

You’re probably right. I’ll have to find someone who has IE6 so I can check out the MA site.

Though, at <500 calories, it isn’t bad.
