Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil
  • ½ cup whole almonds
  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup sliced onion
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1 cup chopped bok choy
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup cold water
Directions
  1. 1. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry almonds in hot oil until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove almonds from skillet with a slotted spoon. Stir fry chicken in remaining peanut oil until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, ginger, salt, and black pepper until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, celery, and bok choy; continue to cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Pour chicken broth into skillet, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 3 more minutes.
  2. 2. Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir into chicken mixture and cook until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with almonds to serve.
