Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider using more cold thick cream sauce, adjusting based on personal preference. If you don't have blanched almonds, you can toast raw almonds in a dry skillet until golden brown. To save time, use leftover chicken from a dish like Garlic Herb Chicken Supreme instead of cooking it from scratch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chicken and almond rolls hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. These croquettes pair beautifully with A La King sauce and go well with a side of Delicious Potato Soup or a light salad to balance the richness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chicken and almond rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through, helping to retain their crispy texture.
