3. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth and stir to deglaze the skillet.
4. Stir in peanut butter and water until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with more water if needed. Stir in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
5. Return chicken to the skillet and coat with sauce. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until chicken is cooked through to 165°F, about 25 minutes.
6. Remove chicken to a serving platter. Skim excess fat from the sauce, stir in lime juice and 1 half of the cilantro, and spoon sauce over chicken. Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve.
