Chicken Stir-Fry with Eggplant and Basil

Ingredients 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 3/4 cup chicken stock or broth 3 green (spring) onions, including tender green tops, 2 coarsely chopped and 1 thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon peeled and chopped fresh ginger 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small eggplant, with peel, diced (about 4 cups) 1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into julienne 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into julienne 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce Directions In a blender or food processor, combine the basil, mint, 1/4 cup of the stock, the chopped green onions, garlic and ginger. Pulse until the mixture is minced but not pureed. Set aside. In a large, nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant, yellow onion and bell peppers and sauté until the vegetables are just tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the basil mixture and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the chicken strips and soy sauce and sauté until the chicken is almost opaque throughout, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup stock and bring to a boil. Return the eggplant mixture to the pan and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and garnish with the sliced green onion. Serve immediately.
