Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Pulse almonds in the bowl of a food processor to fine crumbs. Add bread, oil, salt, and pepper and pulse mixture to coarse crumbs. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Season chicken with salt and pepper, then place in a Dutch oven or deep skillet in a single layer and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming foam. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until no chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and let cool a bit on a cutting board, then shred with two forks. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Strain chicken broth to remove solids. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Return chicken to the pot, then add bread crumb mixture and 4 cups chicken broth. Boil over medium heat, adding more broth if necessary, until mixture reduces and reaches desired consistency, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (25 minutes)

07

Step

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Toast flat sides of buns until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Fill with a generous scoop of chicken mixture and serve. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of Dijon mustard or a splash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of bread for the crumb topping, such as sourdough or whole wheat.
The shredded chicken mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
