Here is a recipe for Almond chicken:

Almond Chicken Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Almond Chicken Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.
  2. On a shallow plate, combine together the flour, salt, and pepper.
  3. Beat the egg in a separate shallow dish. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, making sure to coat both sides.
  4. Next, coat the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  5. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet.
  6. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until it is golden brown on all sides.
  7. While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, garlic, and sugar until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  8. When the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over the top of the chicken in the skillet. Add the sliced almonds and green onions to the skillet as well.
  9. Stir everything together to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
  10. Serve the almond chicken over rice or noodles, and enjoy!
