   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 quest, with dipping sauce,
   about 1/4 c per serving. SAUCE-Mix all ingredients
   together just until blended. Chill 1 to 2 hours to
   blend flavors. Serve cold.
