Buttermilk Baked Chicken with Spinach Salad

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 (1 ounce each) 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

1. 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 re-sealable plastic bag (or baking dish); add marinade and seal (or cover). Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine spinach, apple, and grapes. Add dressing and toss. Serve salad with chicken.
