This recipe ("Almond 'chicken) sounds good--does it thicken at all or is it really "juicy?"

Cynid, It is more "juicy" but you can add a Tbsp. of corn starch to 1/4 c. water at the end then stir it in and let it cook for about 30 minutes longer on high with the lid ajar, that should give you a nice thick sauce :)
