Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the onion and bell peppers until soft.

Chop the tomatoes, discarding the stems, and add them to the skillet once the onion is tender.

Add chopped basil to the mixture and cook until the vegetables are soft and the mixture reduces.

Add ground chicken to the skillet, season with salt, and break it apart as it cooks until no longer pink.

10

Remove the baked eggplants from the oven and scoop out the flesh carefully, leaving the skins intact.
