almond chicken

Chinese restaurant staple

Almond chicken is a Chinese-American dish of battered or breaded chicken pieces served with a gravy-like sauce and topped with toasted almonds.

The dish typically includes vegetables and is served over rice.

It became a staple of American Chinese restaurant menus in the mid-twentieth century: We ordered almond chicken and egg rolls.
