• 4 oz almonds
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2/3 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped onion (I used the pre-chopped onion from Trader Joe's)
• 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
• 5 oz can water chestnuts
• 2 Tbsp Tamari soy sauce (wheat free!)
• sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth, or 1/2 cup water + 1 tube of Trader Joe's chicken broth concentrate

Saute the almonds in the olive oil, using a saucepan over medium heat. Once the almonds begin to brown slightly, remove them from the pan and set them aside.

Next, add the onion and celery, then saute until soft. Add the mushrooms, cooking for 3 minutes longer. Return the almonds, then add all of the remaining ingredients. Mix well, cook until hot. Serve over shredded chicken, or other meat of your choice.
