I make stir fry at least once a week, some of my favorites include teriyaki shrimp stir fry, honey garlic chicken stir fry and this fresh and delicious almond chicken.
I mentioned before that I’ve been on a health kick this summer. It’s pretty easy to eat healthy when there is so much amazing produce in season! Lately my favorite ways to get my veggies in are a big stir fry, like this chicken almond ding or in a hearty Tuscan kale salad. You’re probably wondering about the name of this dish – chicken almond ding isn’t a term you see every day! In fact, chicken almond ding is a type of Asian stir fry full of chicken, plenty of vegetables and toasted almonds, all in a light and savory sauce.
How do you make chicken almond ding?
I use chicken breast in this recipe, although chicken thighs would also work. The great thing about this dish is that it’s so easy to mix and match the vegetables – I used broccoli, snow peas, bell peppers and mushrooms here, but you can use whatever veggies your family likes best. Water chestnuts and Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds add a lot of texture and crunch.
I like to toast my Blue Diamond Almonds before I add them to my stir fry. You can toast your almonds in the toaster oven, regular oven, or simply in a dry skillet until they’re browned and fragrant. Watch carefully, as nuts can burn quickly!
The sauce for this chicken almond ding is a simple combination of ingredients that you probably already have on hand. I like to serve this dish over steamed rice – even my kids love it! It’s a healthy and fast meal that I feel good about feeding my family.
