1/2 cup Unsalted almond butter
1/2 cup Light coconut milk, well stirred
6 tablespoons Fresh lime juice, divided (about 3 limes)
4 teaspoons Thai red curry paste
1 pound Skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, divided
3 cups Thinly sliced English cucumbers
1 cup Thinly sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup Minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Crushed red pepper

Steps:

Combine the almond butter, coconut milk, 1/4 cup lime juice, and curry paste in a medium bowl, stirring until smooth. Place 1/2 cup almond butter mixture in a small bowl; reserve. Add chicken to remaining almond butter mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
