FAQs?
Do we add almonds to the sauce while cooking?
No almonds are not a part of the sauce or the chicken. The toasted almonds are sprinkled all over the cooked chicken before serving and that is why the chicken is known as the Almond chicken.
Why do we add chicken broth to the sauce?
The addition of chicken broth in the sauce adds more chicken-like flavor to your dish and when the sauce is drizzled over the chicken the flavors merge to deliver deliciousness in every bite.
