Easy Chicken Beer Bake with Almonds

This Chicken Beer Bake with Almonds is a recipe I used to make on a regular rotation when my husband and I were newly married and I was a novice cook. Combined, it’s got everything that we both love, chicken, soy sauce, prepared cream of chicken soup, almonds and BEER! Plus is super easy to make!!

All those ingredients might sound like an odd combination, but it works, and it works well! That’s why, after all these years, we still look forward to having it for dinner. The only difference now is that we just don’t have it nearly as often 🙂

I don’t know about you, but after a busy day, I love a night that combines an easy dinner preparation, a glass of wine and some mindless television before bed. That’s my kind of purr-fect night! LOL
