  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.
