Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch strips and thread onto skewers. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and juice of half the lime. Brush over the chicken and let sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the chicken marinates, make the sauce: in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and juice of the remaining lime half. Stir until smooth and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Add water if too thick.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Cook the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, until charred at the edges and cooked through (no pink inside).
Step 4
Slice the cucumber and red onion into thin rounds. Arrange on a plate with the cooked skewers.
Step 5
Serve the skewers with the warm peanut sauce drizzled over or on the side. Garnish with cilantro or extra lime if you have them.
