ALMOND CHICKEN

Love one dish meals! This has lots of veggies and chicken. If you have everything lined up and ready to go in the wok, this comes together quickly. If you don't have a wok, you can use a really hot Dutch oven. I don't usually serve it over rice to save carbs, but I'm sure you can.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot, minced

1/4 teaspoon dry sherry
2 1/3 cups chicken breasts, diced (about 1 1/2 lbs)
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 cup celery, chopped
1/2 lb fresh snow pea, ends snipped
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained and chopped
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
2 green onions, cut into 1 1/4 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the first five ingredients in a large bowl; add the chicken and stir well. Let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken mixture, stirring well. Set aside. (Use this time to chop vegetables).
  • Pour 1 tbsp oil around the top of a preheated wok, coating the sides; heat at medium-high (325 degrees) for 1 minute.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Always prepare and measure all your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a Deep Dish: When baking the chicken, use a deep dish to prevent the sauce from bubbling over.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be crispy and the sauce will be flavorful.

Conclusion:

Honey almond chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and slightly sweet. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
