05 Step

Meanwhile, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
06 Step
Recipe View
During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the toasted almonds over the chicken and sauce. Continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the chicken and sauce over rice or mashed potatoes, if desired.
For a richer flavor, try using cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup instead of cream of chicken.
Add a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the soup mixture for extra depth of flavor.
If you don't have evaporated milk, you can substitute with half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce may be slightly thinner.
To prevent the almonds from burning, keep a close eye on them while toasting and stir frequently.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
