CHICKEN WITH TOASTED ALMONDS 
2 or 3 broiler chickens, boned and skinned (save the broth)
5 tbsp. oil
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. salt (optional)

14 oz. clear chicken broth
1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/2 c. snow peas

Freeze meat to cut, then slice into long slivers. Let thaw completely. Heat oil in Wok. Add chicken, soy sauce, salt, sugar and pepper. Cook, stirring a few minutes or just until chicken is no longer pink. In a small bowl, make a smooth paste of cornstarch and 1/3 cup water.
