# Instrucciones:
01 - Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken on all sides, working in batches if needed. Remove and set aside.
02 - In the same pan, add 3 tbsp olive oil. Fry the garlic slices until golden, then remove. Fry the almonds until lightly browned. Add the bread pieces and fry until crisp. Remove all and let cool slightly.
03 - In a blender or food processor, combine the fried garlic, almonds, bread, saffron (if using), and wine. Blend to a smooth paste.
04 - Return the chicken to the pan. Add the almond sauce, chicken stock, bay leaf, and parsley. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and sauce is thickened.
05 - Adjust seasoning and discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
