Asiago Chicken with Mushrooms and Brussels Sprouts


I am so happy to be back in my kitchen.  Don't get me wrong, vacation's are a wonderful thing.  But after eating out for your every meal for seven days, it's gets a little old and I personally start to miss cooking, baking, etc, etc.  I also don't appreciate the extra weight I put on when I eat out for every meal.  So when I got home, I was stoked to get to the grocery store and stock up with items for our meals that were low in calories and still chocked full of flavor.  This one fit the bill!
