Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat.When hot, add almonds, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until almonds are golden-brown and coated in caramel glaze, 3-4 min.Carefully arrange almond pralines on a plate in a single layer. (NOTE: Be careful; caramel will be hot! Do not touch pralines until cool.)Sprinkle a pinch of salt over top.
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
