For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking. To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning. If you don't have fresh ginger root, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. For a milder dish, omit them altogether. Serve with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete and satisfying meal.
