Detroit Almond Boneless Chicken!

I wouldn't say this is the most healthy option! But it is soo good! and must be healthier when you make it yourself! ;) Kevin's favorite thing to get at a Chinese restaurant back in the Metro Detroit area is Almond Boneless Chicken! It's funny that I found this is a Detroit recipe when researching it on the internet! In other parts of the world they will have Almond Chicken on the recipe not Almond Boneless Chicken. Almond Chicken is just a stir fry of veggies, chicken breast,and actual almonds! We ordered it at the Chinese restaurant in Slovenia and it was actually really good! But I'm here to give you the recipe for Detroit's own deep fried Almond Boneless Chicken! Kevin didn't think we could do it but we did!
