   • In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper.
   • Dredge each chicken breast half in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

2. Brown the Chicken:

   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil.
   • Brown the chicken pieces in the hot oil until they are golden on both sides.
   • Remove the browned chicken and place them in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of toasted almonds, beer, and fresh mushrooms. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

4. Bake the Chicken:

   • Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the baking pan.
   • Bake the chicken uncovered for approximately 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Baste the chicken occasionally with the sauce during baking to keep it moist.

5. Serve:

   • Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of toasted almonds over the top before serving to add a delicious crunch and extra flavor.
