  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together egg whites and 1 tablespoon water until slightly foamy. Place oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Dip chicken, one piece at a time, in the egg whites, allowing excess to drip off, then place in spiced almond mixture, completely coating both sides. Add chicken to skillet and cook until golden brown, turning once, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Using a wide spatula, remove chicken to a plate lined with paper towels, taking care not to disturb coating.
