Chicken with Almonds

What other things you can do with chicken when you get tired of the ordinary stuff? The recipe should also be easy to prepare and have unique taste... How about ‘Chicken with Almonds’? Very easily prepared.

Ingredients:

1 kg. Chicken, cut into serving sizes

½ cup Almonds (barbecue flavoured)

4 cloves Garlic, minced

1 pc. Onion, medium, thinly sliced

1 cup Water

¼ tsp. Iodized salt

2 tbsp. Safflower oil

¼ tsp. Black pepper powder

Cooking Instruction:

Reduce the almonds into powder with the use of a suitable blender. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the garlic and onion until the garlic turns golden brown and the onion starts to caramelize. Toss in the chicken and stir. Cook for about five minutes and add the water, salt, and black pepper, mix well. When it starts to boil, lower the flame to a gentle simmer and cover. Cook until chicken is tender and the water is reduced to about ¾ cup. Add the powdered almonds and mix. Continue cooking uncovered to concentrate the sauce to ¼ cup and serve with bread or plain steamed rice. You may additionally garnish the dish with either flaked, or whole almonds. For interesting variation, you may choose not to grind but just chop them. Interesting and tasty...
