Garlic, chopped finely 
Salt and Pepper
Dried Chilli Flakes

Cheesy Chicken and Aubergine Preparations
Method:
- Fry chicken breasts chunks in olive oil, garlic, chilli flakes, salt and pepper and a good dash of Worcestershire sauce
- Add aubergine chunks shortly after (you want them to get really nice and soft)
- Add thyme and oregano
- Once the aubergines are nicely browned add the tomatoes and the tin of tomatoes.  Also add tomato paste
- Add more Worcestershire sauce and spice to taste
- Turn to medium heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the aubergine is soft and chicken is cooked through
- Add the mozzarella in small handfuls until sauce turns creamy and cheese is mixed through evenly
- Add basil just before serving
- Garnish with Parmesan
- Serve with Ciabatta bread
