From the Test Kitchen

The easy sauce for our chicken highlights the classic sweet-sharp pairing of honey and dijon mustard—a comforting match for our sides of creamy smashed potatoes and sautéed collard greens, which get sweet contrast from a bit of grated apple.

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling  on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Large dice the potatoes. Peel and thinly slice the shallot. Grate the apple on the large side of a box grater, discarding the core. Separate the collard green leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk together the honey  (kneading the packet before opening)  and mustard.

Add the buttermilk and 2 teaspoons of olive oil; gently stir to combine. Using a fork or potato masher, smash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
