ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What is Almond Chicken Gravy made of?
How do you reheat almond chicken gravy?
If you happen to end up with extra Almond Chicken Gravy, you can reheat in a small saucepan over medium heat. It will heat up fast, so keep an eye on it.
Can you Toast almonds?
If you’d like to serve with toasted almonds, simply heat a skillet over medium heat. Put almonds in without any cooking spray…toss and watch carefully to make sure you don’t burn them.
Ingredients:
- Boneless Crispy Chicken Strips
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- chopped or sliced Almonds
Directions:
Heat Boneless Chicken Strips according to package directions.
While chicken is cooking Make your simple almond chicken Sauce:
In a sauce pan mix together Chicken Broth, Butter and Soy Sauce. Bring to a simmer.
While that is getting up to simmer, mix together Cornstarch and 3 Tbls. COLD water.
Once your almond gravy comes to a simmer… slowly add Corn Starch mixture to Chicken Broth and whisk together. Keep stirring until mixed thoroughly. The gravy will begin thickening right away.
Stir until you have the thickness you like.
If you want a thicker gravy then you can just mix in a little more Cornstarch and Water then add. Make sure it’s just a little though or you will end up with a clumpy mess.
remove Chicken from oven and place on a plate. Pour gravy over Chicken and add Almonds.
That is it my friends. This is a deelish and a super easy way to turn simple Foster Farms Crispy Chicken into a yummy Chinese/American meal!
If you want to make it super pretty serve on a platter of slivered cabbage and top with green onions. This of course is super yummy! Your family will think they’ve gone to an authentic chinese resturant!
Serve with white or brown rice and a veggie! YUM!
Tell me what other kinds of dishes do YOU make with frozen pre cooked chicken.

I love almond chicken, so I’ve gotta try this!
I like these easy recipes. I would never have thought to add to this to make it better.
These look delicious. I love when you can get back up quick meals that are “conscientious”. That can be so hard to find.
This looks like such a quick and easy dinner idea! Thanks for sharing it!
Fantastic idea! I never think to dress up premade chicken for a change of pace.
What a great idea. I love making a pre cooked meal more like a home cooked meal. That will have to change! Thanks for lining to the In and Out of the Kitchen party.
Yum! We loved this simple recipe! I made the chicken for my grandkids who don’t do nuts. So we put the gravy on the side for dipping. What a hit! The soy added a real umami richness to the gravy. This recipe is a keeper!
Thanks so much Glenda, that just makes my day! It’s always nice when we can find a winner that the kids / grandkids will eat!
This was absolutely delicious and a nice change from our usual chicken dishes
