How to Make Easy Almond Chicken

  1. If using raw chicken, cook and dice chicken breasts. Alternatively, shred 1 lb of rotisserie chicken, removing bones and skin.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 cup of water until smooth.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add slivered almonds and toast, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes). Remove almonds from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in sliced mushrooms and green beans. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Pour the soup mixture into the skillet. Add the cooked chicken and bring to a simmer.
  7. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  8. Serve the almond chicken over cooked rice. Garnish with the toasted slivered almonds.
