Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups buttermilk
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 pounds), cut into 10 pieces and skin removed, plus 1 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast (3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
1 shallot, halved and thinly sliced
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced, plus 1/4 cup celery leaves
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
Scallion Cornbread Muffins

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix buttermilk, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 10 pieces from whole chicken; stir to coat. Marinate 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours).
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, pulse bread until fine crumbs form, 30 seconds. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; bake until golden brown, 7 minutes. Transfer breadcrumbs to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Set a wire rack in baking sheet. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off as much liquid as possible, and coat with breadcrumbs. Place on rack, along with nonbreaded chicken breast, and season all with salt and pepper. Bake until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through (tent chicken with foil if overbrowning). Refrigerate extra breast for later use.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine cucumber, shallot, celery and leaves, vinegar, and 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve salad with buttermilk chicken and muffins.

GRILLED SALMON WITH CUCUMBER AND CELERY SALAD RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Grilled Salmon With Cucumber and Celery Salad Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by á-175897

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup nonfat yogurt (preferably Greek)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
kosher salt and black pepper
2 Kirby cucumbers, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 ribs celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 small salmon steaks (about 2 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the cucumbers, celery, and parsley and toss to combine. Heat grill to medium-high. Season the salmon with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Grill the salmon until opaque throughout, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve with the salad.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp cucumbers and celery: The fresher the vegetables, the better the salad will taste. Avoid cucumbers that are yellow or have soft spots, and celery that is limp or has brown spots.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the vegetables: This will help to prevent them from becoming bruised or crushed.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a bit of acidity.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Cucumber and celery salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Cucumber and celery salad is a refreshing, healthy, and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and summer gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious salad that everyone will enjoy.
