1. Buttermilk chicken and fried dill pickles

I soaked a large bone-in chicken breast in buttermilk overnight. I made breading with cornmeal and flour. I didn't need it all for the chicken. I have a jar of dill pickles that I bought for the brine. I've had fried dill pickles a couple of times and I was surprised I liked them. So, I thought, what the heck. This was my first time to fix fried pickles. I mixed a little mayo and water together to make a binding for the cornmeal breading and all in all, they were pretty good. I made a serving, about a dozen small slices.

I was going to have some potato leftover salad, but half the chicken breast and the pickles filled me up.

Blueberries for dessert.
