INSTRUCTIONS
1.
For
sauce, mix first 6 ingredients; refrigerate until serving.
2.
In
a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. In
another bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Pound chicken breasts with a meat
mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Dip in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off
excess. Dip in egg mixture, then again in flour mixture.
3. In
a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and
chicken is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes per side. Top with cheese. Serve with
sauce and, if desired, lemon wedges.
Test Kitchen tips
· An
English cucumber works well in this recipe because it's seedless and doesn't
thin out the sauce. But regular cucumber can be used, too—just seed before
chopping.
· Make
the sauce before preparing the rest of the recipe so the garlic mellows and
flavors meld.
·
Serve
with lemon wedges for a pop of bright citrus flavor.

tip

Save
more than 100 calories and half the fat: Brown the chicken in just 1 tablespoon
of oil and finish baking it in the oven, and switch to fat-free plain yogurt in
the sauce.
