Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large pot over high heat. Cook and stir shrimp, turning occasionally, until pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from pot; reserve.
Add chicken to pot and cook, turning occasionally, to brown on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion, garlic, tomatoes and carrots. Cook until onion is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add parsley, thyme and bay leaf; reduce heat and cover.
Simmer 15 minutes. Stir in reserved shrimp, broth and cognac. Cook, uncovered, 5 minutes.
Add almonds and stir until well mixed. Cook 4 to 5 minutes longer or until chicken is fully cooked (thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the leg registers 180°F.).
Serve sauce over shrimp and chicken breasts.
Note
Option (for a Smoother Sauce): Place chicken and shrimp on platter and keep warm. Carefully place almond sauce mixture in food processor or blender container. Process or blend on high until mixture is blended and smooth. Serve sauce over the chicken and shrimp.
