Start by preparing the cauliflower rice as a substitute for regular rice.

In a mixer, puree 3 small peaches until smooth.

Heat a skillet over high heat until very hot for searing the chicken.

Add the chicken to the hot skillet without adding any liquid and let it cook on high heat to create its own juices for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, add the pureed peaches to the skillet with the chicken.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and if needed, add chicken broth or stock for more liquid, avoiding water.

Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for a total of 30 minutes on medium heat.

After 15 minutes of cooking, add sambal for extra heat and flavor, and taste the dish to adjust seasoning as needed.

Continue cooking the chicken for the remaining time, mixing occasionally.

Prepare the cauliflower rice by cooking onions and roasted red peppers in a separate pan, seasoning as desired.
