Instructions
  1. For sauce, mix the 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 juices run clear, 5-7 minutes per side. Top with cheese. Serve with sauce and, if desired, lemon wedges.
Recipe Notes

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 flavours meld.
  • Serve with lemon wedges for a pop of bright citrus flavour.
