In another skillet, add few sprays of olive oil, add spring onions, garlic, chicken, chilli flakes, salt and let the mixed chicken cook completely. ( taste test and add salt and chilli for your liking)
Add a baking sheet to an oven-proof pan and lay 3 slices of eggplant; spread sauce, top with minced chicken mixture, chopped red onions and add another layer of eggplants on the top.
Finally, add another layer of sauce on the top, and the cheese.
