Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 garlic clove, pressed through a garlic press 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Coarse salt and ground pepper 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each) 2 slices multigrain bread 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 2 medium heads (1 1/2 pounds total) romaine lettuce, cut into pieces 1/2 small head radicchio, thinly sliced

Directions

Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.

Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag; reserving 1/2 cup for salad, add buttermilk mixture. Refrigerate chicken at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day.

Meanwhile, make croutons: Place bread on prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side; cut into 1-inch pieces (and reserve baking sheet).

Transfer chicken to baking sheet; discard marinade. Broil until opaque throughout, 14 to 16 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes; thinly slice crosswise. In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise and reserved buttermilk mixture. Add romaine, radicchio, chicken, and croutons; toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Notes Low-fat buttermilk gives the chicken zip and tenderizes the meat. The longer the soak, the softer the chicken. Use the buttermilk left in the container to jazz up mashed potatoes.

It was 9 wasted pages (and ink) printing this yummy recipe. Come on now---you can do it. Just create a "printable version" and become more user friendly.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       03/26/2014   I marinated some chicken tenders in the buttermilk dressing and it the most moist chicken ever! I used my fresh buttermilk from making butter and added a little extra garlic and parmesan cheese. We used the chicken for the salad and super incredible grilled sandwiches. Thank you for such a great recipe! Will be making this recipe often.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/15/2010   Excellent salad! I grilled my chicken and used red onions instead of radicchio and I added thinly sliced cucumbers. I will be making this often! Thanks!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/09/2010   I absolutely LOVE this! I grilled my butternilk chicken, no oven time required! :) Add more garlic if you love it like our family does. Yum!!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/08/2008   ckvennie -- Leftover buttermilk can be frozen. I freeze in 1 cup portions or 1/2 cup portions and use only for cooking in other recipes. Defrost before using - will be a little curdley looking but if you stir it will be just fine! Lois  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/08/2008   Thanks to ckvennie for the tip on Bob's Red Mill dry buttermilk. I, too, am always sorry to have leftover buttermilk.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/23/2008   In addition to substituting yogurt for buttermilk, you can also make your own. 1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup milk PLUS 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice (let stand for 10 minutes before using in recipe).  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/23/2008   Don't know where you are but yogurt or even sour cream would work in place of the buttermilk. Also, dried buttermilk may be purchased. Perhaps you can get the dried variety through the mail.
