The fifth on my list of amazing foods is almonds and the recipe to go with it is - 

Almond Chicken 

2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 skinless chicken breasts

1 (14 oz) can of whole cranberry sauce

1/3 cup Dijon mustard

2/3 cup slivered almonds

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken to heated oil and sauté for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned on all sides. While chicken is browning, lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Remove chicken breasts from skillet and place in baking dish. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the same skillet where the chicken was sautéed, add whole cranberry sauce, mustard, almonds, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook ingredients together over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, for about five minutes. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.
