MARINADE Add all ingredients except the chicken to
a non-aluminum mixing bowl and mix thoroughly until
the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Pound the
chicken breast between sheets of waxed peper until an
even thickness of 3/16" overall. Cut the chicken
breast meat into 1" squares and add to the marinade,
covering completely. Allow to marinate for 2 hours,
refrigerated. Remove from the marinade after 2 hours
and drain. SPIEDIES Assemble in the following order:
red bell pepper, onion, chicken (folded into "C" shape
on the skewer), green bell pepper, onion, chicken,
alternately, finishing with a red pepper strip after
the 4th piece of chicken on each skewer. Spread the
skewered items out on each skewer, so they will cook
quickly. Place the Spiedies on a grill or a griddle
and cook approximately 1 minute per side, turning 4
times. Adjust the timing according to your equipment's
heat output. Serve immediately, 4 per guest, with
dipping sauce, about 1/4 c per serving. SAUCE Mix all
