Almond Chicken

Step 1

Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the onions and cook for 4 minutes or until just softened.

Step 2

Add the zucchini, mushrooms and green bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Remove the vegetable mixture from the pan; wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.

Step 4

Add the remaining 3 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Add the chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper to taste. You may need to work in batches if the chicken doesn't all fit.

Step 5

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Add the vegetable mixture back to the pan with the chicken.

Step 7

Whisk together all the sauce ingredients until well combined.

Step 8

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until sauce is just thickened. Stir in the almonds, then serve.
