How to Make Almond Chicken With Savory Plum Sauce
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch strips) to the bag and marinate for 15 minutes.
- While chicken marinates, chop 1/4 cup fresh parsley and set aside. Spread 1/2 cup slivered almonds on a piece of waxed paper.
- Remove chicken from bag and dip each strip into the almond mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the coated chicken into the slivered almonds, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place chicken strips on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and almonds are golden brown.
- **Prepare the Plum Sauce:** Cut 2 ripe plums in half, remove pits, and chop.
- Puree the chopped plums in a blender until smooth.
- In a saucepan, combine the plum puree, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- (Alternative Microwave Method): Combine all plum sauce ingredients in a 1-quart glass container. Microwave on high for 8 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes, until thickened and clear.
- Serve the baked chicken strips over a bed of lettuce and sugar snap peas, drizzled generously with the savory plum sauce.
