Lightly salt the chicken thighs and sear them all over in a pan. Then place them in a baking dish and place them in a preheated oven at 150°C (convection oven) for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, cook the pasta in salted water. Dice the eggplant and fry them in a little olive oil in the same pan as the chicken thighs over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Then add the cooked and drained pasta and mix in the pesto. Add the chicken thighs to the pasta in the pan and add the rendered liquid from the baking dish. Let everything simmer in the covered pan for another 10 minutes.
