Prep and toast almonds
1
  • Peel, then halve carrots lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat.
  • When hot, add almonds to the dry pot.
  • Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on almonds so they don't burn!)

  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high.
