Almond Chicken Gravy Recipe (made in 15 Min)

There is nothing wrong with using pre-cooked foods that can be cooked just as they are BUT they can also be made into a super simple yet semi-elegant meal in minutes!

This Chinese Almond Chicken Recipe makes 3 Cups of Gravy. So use as many chicken strips as you like for your family. You could also get fried chicken strips from the Deli at your grocery store to speed this up even quicker!

Some days we just need quick and easy and I bet you do too! This Almond Chicken gravy was the perfect quick easy recipe that I created when I was craving almond chicken Chinese style!

ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is Almond Chicken Sauce made of?

There are a few different variations of Almond Chicken Sauce ingredients but I don’t like to overcomplicate things ESPECIALLY when these simple ingredients make the perfect almond boneless chicken! Almond Chicken Sauce is made of super basic ingredients. Also, Chicken Broth is the same as Chicken Stock…so this is an easy swap.

How do you reheat almond chicken gravy?

If you happen to end up with extra Almond Chicken Gravy, store it in an air-tight container and refrigerate, you can reheat it later in a small saucepan over medium heat. It will heat up fast, so keep an eye on it… I would stir it continuously so it doesn’t burn.

Can you Toast almonds?

If you’d like to serve with toasted almonds, simply heat a skillet over medium heat. Put almonds in without any cooking spray…toss and watch carefully to make sure you don’t burn them.

What is War Su Gai?

War Su Gai is another variation for making this yummy Almond Chicken Gravy Recipe EXCEPT…you make the chicken breading from scratch and fry the boneless piece of chicken in a large skillet. It’s made with a homemade breaded outer layer. It’s yummy too…but obviously, it’s not a 15 min recipe which is what the Almond Chicken Gravy Recipe is all about.

Ingredients for Almond Chicken Gravy Recipe

• Boneless Crispy Chicken Strips
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• chopped or sliced Almonds

Directions:

Heat Boneless Chicken Strips according to package directions. Spread the chicken pieces out so that you get a nice little crisp. When they’re too close together they don’t get the crisp all the way around.

While the chicken is cooking, make your simple almond chicken sauce:

In a saucepan mix together Chicken broth, butter, and Soy Sauce. Bring these ingredients to a simmer on the stovetop.

While that is getting up to simmer, mix together in a small bowl, the Cornstarch and 3 Tbls.COLD water.If you use warm or hot water, the cornstarch will not become a smooth consistency but lumpy.

Once your almond gravy comes to a simmer…slowly add Corn Starch mixture to Chicken Broth and whisk together. Keep stirring until mixed thoroughly.

The gravy will begin thickening pretty quickly. Continue stirring until you have the consistency you’d like. If you let the Almond Chicken Gravy simmer too long it can become too thick

Stir until you have the thickness you like.

If you want a thicker gravy then you can just mix in a little more Cornstarch and Water then add slowly. Make sure it’s just a little though or you will end up with a clumpy mess.

Remove Your Cooked Chicken When It Is Golden Brown From The Oven And Place On A Plate. Pour Gravy Over Chicken And Add Toasted Almonds And Green Onion If You Like!

That is it, my friends. This is a deelish and super easy way to turn simple Frozen Crispy Chicken Strips into a yummy Chinese/American meal!

If you want to make this dish super pretty. serve on a platter of shredded lettuce or cabbage and top with green onions and crunchy almonds or sliced almonds. This of course is super yummy! Your family will think they’ve gone to an authentic Chinese restaurant!

What to Serve With the Almond Chicken:

• Brown Or White Rice (Minute Rice if you’re in a hurry!)
• Cabbage Salad or any vegetable salad
• Stir Fry Vegetables
