30 MINUTE ALMOND CHICKEN
This is a very delicious recipe that turns an ordinary dinner into an extraordinary meal with a springtime twist. If you want a dinner that is quick, easy, and healthy this is it! Unlike most one-dish-meals, this one has three distinct flavors that blend well. I was hesitant at first to use thigh meat as we like white meat, but I think this cut really made the dish! I found this recipe in Kraft's Food and Family (Spring 2005) Magazine.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-sliced almonds. If you're using whole almonds, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. The almonds should be golden brown and smell nutty, but not burnt.
- To make a gluten-free version of this recipe, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. If you're allergic to almonds, substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or walnuts.
- You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
- Serve this dish with rice, quinoa, or noodles. If you're looking for a low-carb option, serve it with cauliflower rice.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. Simply store the cooked chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chicken and sauce over medium heat until warmed through.
