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.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken, and it was delicious.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much salt in the marinade.
