Start off by adding the olive oil to a heavy bottom saute pan and add the chopped onions, garlic and ginger.

Saute for one minute, then add the chicken and remaining ingredients except the cilantro to the pan.

Bring it up to a simmer, cover and allow it to cook for 35-40 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.

Top the chicken with some chopped fresh cilantro and some more crunchy almonds if you wish.
