How to Make 30 Minute Almond Chicken
- In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, toss chicken pieces with Italian dressing. Marinate for at least 5 minutes (or longer if time allows).
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Add drained green beans to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through and tender-crisp.
- Carefully remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir in cooked rice and toasted slivered almonds. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the almond-rice mixture as a bed for the chicken. Garnish with extra almonds, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
