– 4 boneless chicken breasts – 1 cup almond slices – 1 cup chicken broth – 1/4 cup soy sauce – 2 tablespoons cornstarch – 2 tablespoons water – 2 tablespoons vegetable oil – 2 green onions, chopped – Lettuce leaves, for serving
1. – In a saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and almond slices. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This will infuse the almond flavor into the liquid.
2 – In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add this slurry to the almond mixture while stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to thicken, creating a flavorful almond gravy. Keep warm on low heat.
3 – While the almond gravy simmers, prepare the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat.
4 – Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the hot oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
5 – Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
6 – To serve, place a bed of lettuce leaves on each plate. Top with a piece of crispy fried chicken.
7 – Spoon the warm almond gravy over the chicken and garnish with chopped green onions.
