To make this dish, I started by placing four slices of eggplant on a parchment lined baking sheet.
I drizzled the eggplant slices with olive oil and sprinkled them with salt and pepper.
Then I placed the baking sheet in the oven and roasted the eggplant for 18 minutes.
While the eggplant was in the oven, I dumped some all purpose flour and salt and pepper into a shallow dish.
I stirred the flour, salt and pepper together well.
Then I dredged four chicken cutlets in the flour one at a time, making sure they were well coated on both sides.
I heated some olive oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil was hot, I added the chicken cutlets to the skillet.
Once the cutlets were browned on the bottom, I flipped them to brown the other side.
Then I transferred the chicken cutlets to a plate and set them aside.
I added some chopped yellow onion to the skillet.
I also added some garlic puree to the skillet.
I stirred the chopped onions and garlic together well.
Once the onions were golden brown and softened, I added some marsala wine to the skillet.
I brough the wine to a boil.
Once the wine was boiling, I added some crushed tomatoes to the skillet.
Then I reduced the heat to medium-low and stirred well.
I added some Italian seasoning and water to the skillet.
I stirred well again.
I left the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes.
Then I placed the chicken cutlets in the skillet.
I spooned some of the tomato sauce over the chicken.
Then I placed a slice of roasted eggplant on top of each chicken cutlet.
I placed some sliced prosciutto on top of the eggplants.
Then I sprinkled some shredded Italian blend cheese on top of the prosciutto.
I placed the skillet in the oven and baked the dish until the cheese on top was completely melted and just starting to brown.
Then the chicken Sorrentino was ready to serve.
I served my chicken cutlets and sauce over some spaghetti noodles.
