Step 1
Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, slice 1 cucumber into thin rounds and place in a bowl with 1/4 cup rice vinegar and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Set aside to pickle.
Step 2
Cut 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch chunks. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, juice of 1 lime, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Toss chicken in marinade and thread onto skewers.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp soy sauce, juice of 1 lime, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Warm over low heat, stirring until smooth and pourable, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high. Cook skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through (no pink inside).
Step 5
Serve skewers with peanut sauce and pickled cucumbers on the side. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts if you have them.
