Breaded chicken with mushroom sauce and brussels sprouts

Chicken Breast

Mushroom Sauce

Brussels Sprouts

Wash: In a large bowl full of lightly salted water, soak the sprouts for 10 minutes to clean them, then rinse under running water.

Trim: Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves.
    * I left them whole after trimming, but might have been better if I chopped them a bit.

Flavor with balsamic vinegar (1/4 cup), red wine (1/4 cup), salt, & pepper
    * could have used a simpler recipe of just olive oil, salt, pepper
    * could add cheese and garlic to help with the bitterness

Bake @ 400 for 40 minutes
