Slice chicken into small pieces. Place in a bowl with teriyaki sauce, garlic, and brandy. Mix well and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to several hours. The longer the better and more flavorful the chicken will be.

Slice eggplant into strips, thoroughly baste in olive oil and roast in a separate pan at 350 F/ 177 C for 15-20 minutes.

While the vegetables are roasting, quickly stir fry the chicken with the marinade sauce until just cooked through. Drizzle on optional raw honey after removing from heat. Set aside.
-
After roasting is complete, mix all the veggies together in one pan and roast another 10 minutes.

Arrange roasted veggies on top of bowls of fresh organic salad greens and top with pieces of marinated, cooked chicken.
