This is a delicious Mexican dish that has a garlic sauce that is thickened with almonds, a definite Spanish influence. Adjust the spiciness to your taste.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would be better with less soy sauce.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken that I needed to use up, and this dish was the perfect solution.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken almond turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5. It was easy to make, but the flavor was just okay. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was easy to make, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was too thick.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more garlic and ginger.
