Maybe you already know the story, maybe you don’t. But it’s one of my favorites.
It’s doubtful that I invented this flavor concept for chicken, but I don’t know if new ideas even exist anymore. Regardless, this dish is INCREDIBLE. I made it last night for the family and it was unanimously well-received. And again for lunch today.
If you like the flavor of onions rings and sour cream & onion anything, and love juicy on the inside / crispy on the outside chicken, then you will love this recipe. The method would also work incredibly well with pounded-thin pork chops!
Also? Put this puppy between two buttered, toasted buns with a thin pickle or two and you’ve got yourself some sexy sandwich nirvana.
Essentially what you’re doing is butterflying boneless, skinless chicken breasts and marinating them in a sour cream based mixture, then breading them in those crushed up ‘crispy fried onions’ that come in the can before pan-frying them until golden brown. The sour cream helps tenderize the chicken, as well as flavor it, and the rest is just mouth-watering yummy city.
SO JUICY. SO FLAVORFUL. SO TENDER. SO CRISPY.
I started making my own sandwich bread in the beginning of the pandemic lockdown. We didn’t outsource anything unless absolutely necessary for a whole year, and a lot of really great things came out of that time. I developed recipes that are now family favorites… we became much more environmentally conscious as a whole… and are all around a closer and wiser team after going through everything that we did together.
Plus, being out of bread is a horror movie plotline in my world.
When something breaks
you can decide to look at the pieces
scattered and shattered
jagged and jarring
the pieces of a previous something
a something that no longer resembles what once was
And you can throw them away
Or
You can pick up those broken pieces
carefully and with loving hands
choose the perfect glue
a glue made of the resilience formed after the breaking
to piece them back together
and see it as a now stronger something that
You built on your own
opposing the other thing that
someone else built For You
that was weak enough to fall apart in the first place
You then have become your own keeper
your own maker
your own Whole and Complete thing
The broken pieces were not the proof of a broken existence
The broken pieces became the parts that were used to build a stronger model

There will always be makeup trends. A lot of them are really fun to play with and some, you just sit back and wait until it passes. But the good stuff stands the test of time, and it really isn’t all that complicated to achieve.
Makeup that evens out your skin-tone, gives you a sun-kissed dewy glow, highlights your features AND makes you still feel comfortable in your own skin will always be on trend.
And everyone needs a little sparkle in their day ✨🌟💫
Nobody doesn’t like a one pan dinner, right? The grammar police maybe didn’t like that sentence, but I still stand behind the sentiment. Whether it’s a one-pot stew, soup or braise to be cooked on the stove, a one sheet tray roast… any time you can put all your dinner into one dish, bake it in that dish, and not have to pre-cook any of it beforehand?!?
Winner, winner (you know the rest).
