Mushroom Almond Chicken RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Mushroom Almond Chicken Recipe Rating 5

I created this recipe over years of preparing meals for hunting camps out in the backcountry. Out there, I'd cook it in a Dutch oven over a fire. It satisfies even the biggest eaters, and it's easy to double or triple the recipe.
