Ingredients
- 1 oz peanuts, divided
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Using a food processor, finely chop half of the peanuts. Process until they're a coarse meal, about 30 seconds.
- Add in the chicken cubes and pulse 8-10 times, until the mixture is slightly sticky and holds together; transfer to a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), 2 tbsp. water, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger, cilantro leaves, scallions, and half of the peanuts.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 20 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp sesame oil. Add the chicken cubes and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
- Sprinkle with the reserved chopped peanuts and serve over cauliflower rice, if desired.
