Heat makes peanut butter easier to stir. Mix coconut milk, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Taste and salt the sauce.  

Add drained pasta, chicken, cucumber, and scallions to the bowl and mix thoroughly.  Add cilantro and chopped peanuts to the pasta salad and serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.
