Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Cut chicken breast into thin strips for even cooking.

In a bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut milk, lime juice, and brown sugar until smooth.

Add minced garlic, grated ginger, coriander, cumin, and chili powder to the peanut sauce and stir well.

Marinate chicken strips in half of the peanut sauce for at least 1 hour.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers.

Brush grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and charred.

Serve skewers with remaining peanut sauce for dipping.

Garnish with chopped cilantro or crushed peanuts if desired.
