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).

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh buttermilk, chicken, and spinach will give your dish the best flavor.

- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the salad dressing ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Serve the salad immediately: This will prevent the spinach from wilting.
