Roasted Eggplant and Chicken with Feta and Dill Yogurt Sauce

The roasted eggplant makes this dish so creamy and delicious!  You can make this spicier by using harissa instead of chili powder, but it was delicious as it was.

1 large eggplant or 6-10 small eggplants

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes

2 teaspoons oregano

1 teaspoon salt
