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.

Adjust the timing according to your equipment's heat output.
Serve immediately, 4 per quest, with dipping sauce, about 1/4 c per serving.
