Method
Cook the chicken with the onion and spices until tender, then take the meat off the bone and shred it.
Make the egg mixture cooked in the chicken broth (like a soft, runny omelette).
Layer the brick sheets in a buttered tin, alternating with layers of chicken, egg and almonds.
Bake until the top layer is golden, and dust with icing sugar and cinnamon to serve.
