Cut chicken into thin strips.

Add the chicken strips to the marinade and coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, lime juice, honey, fish sauce, and red chili flakes to create the peanut dressing.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and lightly charred.
In a large serving bowl, combine mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro.
Place the grilled chicken skewers on top of the salad.
Drizzle the salad with the peanut dressing and sprinkle with crushed peanuts.
