What's the key to avoiding dry, flavorless breast meat? Marinade! Jazz up this chicken and vegetable salad with the same honey-mustard vinaigrette that gives zip to Honey-Mustard Salmon with Green Beans.

Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (2 pounds total)
½ cup reserved vinaigrette from Honey-Mustard Salmon with Green Beans
2 zucchini or summer squash, cut into ½-inch half-moons
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 large Yukon Gold potato, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
5 ounces baby spinach (5 cups)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

In a zip-top plastic bag, combine chicken and vinaigrette. Refrigerate 1 hour (or up to 12 hours). Preheat oven to 475 degrees, with rack in upper third. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss zucchini, tomatoes, and potato with oil and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken to sheet, skin side up; season with salt and pepper. Bake 10 minutes. Heat broiler and broil until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are golden, about 10 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest while vegetables continue to broil, 5 minutes more. Toss vegetables with spinach and divide among plates. Remove bones and slice chicken. Serve chicken on top of salad, with lemon wedges.

Cook's Notes

Tender baby spinach is a great salad base, but arugula, watercress, or red-leaf lettuce would be just as tasty.
