I enjoy boneless chicken breasts the most with this recipe, however, I have used boneless pork loin and London broil before as substitutes, and have been happy with the result. You could even use shrimp, scallops, or calamari if you wanted to make this a seafood dish.
This chicken with eggplant and green beans recipe has a lot of vegetables in it. You could remove some vegetables if you like to simplify the dish. Or, if you love vegetables, add some more in. I would recommend onions, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, or spinach.
The sauce for this chicken with eggplant and green beans recipe is simple. It is a combination of the juices from the vegetables, soy sauce, and some spices. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, try some stir fry sauce, teriyaki sauce, or orange sauce.
