Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. 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.

  2. Add the sesame oil and stir in the onion, garlic, ginger, and chili-garlic sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, 4–5 minutes.

  3. Add soy sauce, peanut butter, coconut milk, almond milk, and tomatoes. Stir until the sauce is creamy and the peanut butter is fully distributed. 

  4. 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.

  5. Serve chicken over cauliflower rice and garnish with peanuts and more cilantro, if desired.
