Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey
6 cloves garlic, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 bone-in chicken breast halves (10 to 12 ounces each), skin removed
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
3 slices white sandwich bread, torn into large pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
1 bag (5 ounces) baby spinach
1 medium red apple, halved, cored, and thinly sliced
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved

Steps:

  • Make marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups buttermilk, 3 tablespoons honey, garlic, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag (or baking dish); add marinade and seal (or cover). Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
  • Make salad dressing: In a jar, combine remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream, vinegar, and 1 teaspoon honey; season generously with salt and pepper. Shake vigorously to combine. Refrigerate.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor, pulse bread, oil, and Herbes de Provence until fine crumbs form; season generously with salt and pepper (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lift chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off (discard remaining marinade). Place chicken on foil, bone side down; sprinkle with breadcrumbs, patting them on lightly. Bake until crumbs are browned and chicken is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine spinach, apple, and grapes. Add dressing and toss. Serve salad with chicken.

½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 bone-in chicken breast halves, skinned
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Make sure the buttermilk marinade is flavorful: Use a flavorful buttermilk marinade that includes herbs, spices, and seasonings. This will help infuse the chicken with flavor and keep it moist during baking.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking will dry out the chicken and make it tough.
  • Use fresh spinach for the salad: Fresh spinach is best for this salad. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use baby kale or arugula.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for the spinach salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.

Conclusion:

This buttermilk baked chicken with spinach salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the spinach salad is refreshing and light. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home.
