Step 1
Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, slice 1.5 lb chicken breast into thin strips and thread onto the skewers.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup peanut butter, 0.75 cup coconut milk, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, until charred at the edges and cooked through (no pink inside).
Step 4
While the chicken cooks, thinly shred 0.5 head of purple cabbage and place in a bowl. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over it and toss to combine.
Step 5
Serve the hot skewers with the peanut sauce drizzled on top and the lime cabbage on the side. Add extra lime or chili flakes if you like.
Step 6
Enjoy immediately, with extra sauce for dipping if desired.
