Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and put them into a large bowl. Add the coco aminos or soy sauce and mix. Let the chicken marinate while you chop the onion and make the sauce.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together all of the peanut butter sauce ingredients.
½ cup natural peanut butter, 15 ounce can crushed tomato, 1 cup chicken stock, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon EACH: ground cumin and coriander, A pinch of pepper flakes
Heat the oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Pour the chicken and soy sauce into the pan (careful, it will splatter) and move the chicken around so that it is in a single layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 5 minutes then turn the chicken pieces over and let them cook for another 5 minutes.
1 tablespoon oil
Add the onion to the pan and let it cook for 3 minutes, or until it is transparent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 more minute.
½ medium onion, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger
Pour the peanut butter sauce into the pan and let it cook until it begins to thicken a little, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and serve with a little minced cilantro.
Notes
Pair with steamed basmati rice or cauliflower rice
