Drain the chicken, discarding the marinade. Add the chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until the meat is no longer pink. Add the red pepper, chiles, and the reserved marinade; cook for 2 minutes or until heated through. Stir in the toasted almonds. Serve the chicken mixture immediately over the shredded lettuce, and top with the tomato wedges and avocado slices.
