Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring often, until golden brown. Transfer chicken to a plate and return the skillet to medium heat.
-
Add the sesame oil and stir in the onion, garlic, ginger, and chili-garlic sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, 4–5 minutes.
-
Add soy sauce, peanut butter, coconut milk, almond milk, and tomatoes. Stir until the sauce is creamy and the peanut butter is fully distributed.
-
Bring to a simmer. Return chicken to the pan and add the chopped cilantro. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens, 3–4 minutes.
-
Serve chicken over cauliflower rice and garnish with peanuts and more cilantro, if desired.
