How to Make Almond Chicken

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons tamari sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
2. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Add chicken to the tamari mixture and marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup whole oat flour, 1 cup crushed pecans (or almonds), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
5. Once the oil is hot, dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Add chicken to the hot skillet.
6. Reduce heat to medium-high.
7. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
8. Serve the delicious Almond Chicken immediately over cooked seasoned brown and wild rice.
