Almond Boneless Chicken

4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces or whole breasts

Batter

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup water

1/2 tsp salt

1 egg

1 egg white

4 Tbsp cornstarch

4 Tbsp water

3 cups chicken broth (low sodium)

1 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms (optional)

3 Tbsp butter

2 tsp soy sauce

3 Tbsp chicken bouillon granules

Sliced Almonds (optional-but this is called ALMOND after all)

To make batter:

In a medium bowl mix all batter ingredients together until smooth. Cover and let sit 30min. Add chicken either cut up or whole, toss to coat.

Heat oil in medium/large pan to 350 degrees. Add chicken and fry for approximately 3 min for bites and 6 min for whole breasts. As always test a piece first to make sure it is cooked to 165 degrees. Batter should be slightly golden.

While frying chicken, make almond sauce. 

To make sauce:

In a small sauce pan, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually add the chicken broth, mushrooms, butter, soy sauce, and bouillon granules. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil 1 min and then keep warm.

Serve over rice and sprinkle almonds and green onions.

Fry some chicken to golden brown.

Make almond sauce.

Add some rice and there you go!
