Prep/Total Time : 30 min.
Servings : 4
INGREDIENTS
· 1-1/2 cups finely chopped peeled English cucumber
· 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
· 2 garlic cloves, minced
· 1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
· 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
· 1/8 teaspoon salt
CHICKEN
· 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
· 1 teaspoon pepper
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
· 1 large Eggland's Best egg
· 1/3 cup 2% milk
· 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
· 1/4 cup canola oil
· 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
· Lemon wedges, optional
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.
Health 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.
