INGREDIENTS

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally (see Tip) and pounded 1/8-inch thick, or use 4 chicken cutlets (don’t split or pound)
•  Kosher salt and black pepper
• ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup thinly sliced chives (or 1 tablespoon dried chives), plus more for serving
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 cups panko bread crumbs
•  Canola oil, for frying
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges   
• 
  

PREPARATION

1. Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, chives and 1 tablespoon onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat. (Chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours. Refrigerate, then let come to room temperature before cooking.)
3. In a shallow bowl or lipped plate, stir together the panko and remaining 1 tablespoon onion powder; season with salt and pepper.
4. Working one at a time, press the chicken breasts into the panko, using your fingers to pack the panko onto both sides of the chicken, and place on a large plate or a sheet pan.
5. Line a plate with paper towels. Heat 1/8-inch canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Drop a piece of panko in: If it sizzles, the oil’s ready. Add a chicken cutlet (or two, if they can fit comfortably), and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding and heating more oil as needed, and removing excess panko from the pan with a slotted spoon.
6. Serve chicken with more chives and lemon wedges for squeezing.

Tip

• Freezing the chicken breasts for 15 minutes to firm them up will make slicing them through the middle easier.

I noticed in the comments section someone said that they substituted crushed up potato chips for the panko crumbs. I can only imagine how good that would be!

Make this! 

Enjoy!

Happy Summer Friday, Mes Amies!!! 

Are you doing well today? I sure hope so.

I wanted to share a review with you today. As always, (Okay, as is most of the time) I bought this myself with my own money. This is a completely unbiased review.

 Today, I'm sharing my thoughts about the PMD Personal Microdermabrasion  tool.

If you are into beauty and skin care like I am, you are likely very aware of microdermabrasion and its benefits.

 Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure that leaves your skin looking brighter and feeling softer immediately. A professional microdermabrasion treatment at a spa can set

you back $100+ per session.

However, most of us are not able to be spending $100 + every week.

There are certain tools and lotions that you can buy at Target or CVS, However, they are nothing like an in- office microdermabrasion treatment.

Thankfully, there is now budget-friendly option that actually mimics a professional treatment.   After using it twice, it’s paid for itself. Personal Microderm (PMD) is an at-home skin care tool that fades the appearance of blemishes, dark spots, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, and evens out skin tone and texture. The PMD uses a combination of patented spinning discs embedded with aluminum oxide crystals and vacuum suction to remove dead skin and increase circulation.

Out of a panel of 30 women, 100% of women said their skin was softer after using the Personal Microderm, and 95% said they felt more confident in their skin after using this product. I had seen these states and had my eye on this little gizmo for awhile. I finally decided to get it. Now, I can COMPLETELY attest to these results. I was a sworn believer after my first use because I could not believe the results.

HOW TO USE THE PMD

The PMD Personal Microderm can be used once every 6-7 days. It is crucial that you are giving your skin a full week to rejuvenate before using it again. This is due to the fact that the top layer of skin has been removed during the process. You need a week between treatments to recover and regrow new skin cells.

There are different discs ranging from ultra-sensitive to very intense depending on your skin sensitivity and desired results. The device instructions show to start with the white disc (the most sensitive) and practice on your arm or leg before using on your face.

Begin by cleansing your face and thoroughly drying your skin. Next, plug in the PMD device and begin with the white disc. Make sure you hold your skin taunt and smoothly glide the device across your skin in an upward motion. Do not apply pressure, and do not stop or remain in one spot. You should only do one pass per area. After you’re done, be sure to wash the cap and filter and replace the discs after every 3 uses.  The manufacturer says that you will begin to see results after 8-12 weeks. However, I can tell you that for me it was much sooner. By week three I saw a big improvement.

MY EXPERIENCE

 I am truly fortunate regarding my skin. I never had acne or anything like that, even as a teenager.

However, I do have VERY dry skin. Initially, I did not see how Microdermabrasion would help my dry skin. I was seriously wrong. Microdermabrasion removes the old dead skin cells. That makes my serums and lotions penetrate deeper and quicker. I use the PMD on Monday nights after cleansing my skin. Initially, my skin was pink after my first treatment, However, that subsided after a few minutes. Personal Microderm removes the top layer of dead, dull skin cells freeing the trapped pores that may be lurking underneath. Within the second use of this gizmo, my pores were no longer clogged.  Within three uses my skin was looking so much brighter.

I am so impressed with the PMD Personal Microderm PRO and highly recommend it.

When you first get it, practice on your arm or leg. You will have a feel for it almost instantly.

I am sure it goes without saying, but don’t leave it in one spot for too long, you’ll give yourself a hickey.

Screw off the top and clean it thoroughly after each use. Be prepared to be shocked (and kind of grossed out) by all of the yuck that comes out of your skin.
