CHINESE-STYLE CHICKEN WITH ALMONDS RECIPE

STEP 1

If we have opted for raw almonds, we will toast them in a pan with a little oil until they are golden. We booked. 

STEP 2

Marinate the chicken together with the soy sauce, ginger, and sugar. We keep it in the fridge.

STEP 3

Next, peel and cut the onion julienne,

STEP 4

Chop the garlic cloves, then peel and cut the carrot and mushrooms into thin slices.

STEP 5

Heat a splash of oil in a saucepan and when hot, add the garlic. 

STEP 6

When they begin to brown, add the onion, and then the carrot. Let them cook over medium heat without overdoing them, 7-8 minutes will suffice without forgetting to stir from time to time. They have to be a bit stiff.

STEP 7

When the vegetables are almost ready, add the mushrooms, and the almonds and let them cook for a few more minutes. Once ready, remove them from the pan and reserve them.

STEP 8

In the same casserole, we put the chicken with the macerated juice. We cook it over high heat until it is marked on the outside.

STEP 9

Add the vegetables with the reserved almonds, the chicken broth, and the cornmeal dissolved in a little water. We put the fire on strong and when it starts to boil, we lower the fire to half and let it stew for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time.

STEP 10

If the sauce is too thick for your taste, you can add a little water, although, with the measures of the recipe, it has to be just right.

Serve it freshly made. It is not necessary to add salt because the soy sauce and the broth already provide it, but you can try the sauce in case you have to correct it. You can also add more soy sauce if you wish.
