Brad's Chinese almond chicken step by step

1. In a dry pan over medium heat, toast almonds. Stir constantly until they brown well and get very aromatic. Set aside to cool..
2. Melt butter in a wok or dutch oven. Add flour and make a roux. Stir constantly until mixture becomes very brown and nutty smelling..
3. Meanwhile add cooled almonds to a food processor and chop fine..
4. Add 2/3 of the almonds to the roux. Also add chicken bouillon. Slowly add cream to the roux in small amounts. Fully incorporate each time. About 3/4 of the qt should be good at first..
5. Keep gravy warm on the lowest setting on the stove while frying the chicken..
6. Heat oil for frying. It should cover about half of the chicken strip in the pan. Use a medium low setting..
7. Mix flour and garlic powder. Place in a bowl. Place egg and panko in separate bowls..
8. Dredge chicken in flour then egg, then panko. Place in hot oil and fry on both sides until panko is golden brown and chicken is cooked through. Drain on paper towels..
9. During this process the gravy will thicken. Mix small amount of cream back in to keep texture creamy.
10. Plate rice. Place chicken over the top. Smother in almond gravy. Garnish with more toasted almonds and green onions. I served with a broccoli slaw with snow peas and toasted sesame ginger dressing. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
