How to Make Almond Spiced Chicken

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add 1 cup of slivered almonds and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
3. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon curry powder and toss gently to coat. Remove almonds and set aside on paper towels to drain.
4. In the same skillet, sauté 1 medium apple (diced), 1/2 medium onion (diced), and 1 cup sliced mushrooms for about 5 minutes until softened.
5. Stir in 1 tablespoon curry powder and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
6. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 chicken bouillon cubes in 1/2 cup boiling water. Add this mixture, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 cup milk to the skillet.
7. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes.
8. Add 2 cups cooked chicken (diced or shredded) and cook until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
9. Serve the Almond Spiced Chicken over 1/4 cup cooked rice (optional). For a lower-carb option, omit the rice or serve with cauliflower rice.
