Preheat a 2-rack oven to 425 degrees  Fahrenheit.

Cut the chicken breasts long-ways to make half-inch strips. Put the strips into a large plastic bag along with a raw egg. Next, sprinkle in a 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese and shake the bag until the chicken strips are coated in egg and parmesan cheese. Remove the chicken strips, and dispose of the bag.

Arrange the chicken strips in a baking dish. (Tip: Line the baking dish with aluminum foil for an easy clean up!) put the baking dish on the upper rack. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked all the way through.

Meanwhile, in another baking dish, toss the brussels sprouts and portobello mushrooms together. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese on the vegetables and season with salt and pepper as necessary. Place this baking dish on the lower rack of the oven. Bake for 25 minutes and serve with the chicken and balsamic vinegar topping.

  2. Great recipe, but what does this have to do with strength training and injury reduction? Is it something that helps injuries heal? Or is it just an alternative meal that helps build muscle along with exercise?

    1. I should clarify. It is just a healthy meal that will help to build muscle. No magical injury healing properties. (I can only wish :-[)
