Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions:
1. Prep Work:
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Thinly slice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the almonds if they’re whole.
2. Saute Onions and Garlic:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic, and sautรฉ until the onions are translucent and aromatic, typically about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove this onion-garlic mixture from the pan and set it aside.
3. Cook Chicken:
- Return the skillet to the heat and add a bit more olive oil if needed. Now, stir-fry the boneless, skinless chicken breasts until they’re no longer pink in the center, ensuring they’re cooked through.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the chicken is cooked, reintroduce the onion-garlic mixture back into the skillet with the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth and add the chopped almonds. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
5. Thicken the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together the cold water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Then, pour this mixture into the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Stir well to combine, and continue cooking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
6. Add Sour Cream:
- Just before serving, stir in the sour cream until it’s fully incorporated into the sauce. This will add a creamy richness to the dish and enhance its flavor.
7. Serve:
- Your Saucy Almond Chicken is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it hot over a bed of fluffy rice, allowing the flavorful sauce to soak into the rice grains for an extra delicious experience.
Enjoy Your Meal! ๐ฝ๏ธ
