Golden, breaded chicken and cubes of eggplant bake side by side until crisp, then get draped in a rich sauce of cream, chicken liver, and Parmesan. A squeeze of lemon cuts through the richness and ties everything together. It is a hearty, rustic dish for anyone who loves the deep comfort of Italian home cooking.
