Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 large red bell peppers
2 large green bell peppers
1 large yellow onion
24 8-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water in the refrigerator overnight
1/4 cup pure olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 clove garlic, crushed or minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce:.
  • Mix all ingredients together just until blended.
  • Chill 1-2 hours to blend flavors.
  • For the marinade:.
  • Whirl in blender and chill until needed.
  • Pound the chicken breast between sheets of waxed paper until an even thickness of 3/16 inch overall.
  • Cut the chicken breast meat into 1 inch squares and add to the marinade, covering completely.
  • Allow to marinate for two hours, refrigerated.
  • Remove from the marinade after two hours and drain and discard marinade.
  • While the chicken is marinating, wash the bell peppers and cut into one-half by one inch pieces, to ensure proper cooking.
  • Cut the onions into half-inch by one inch pieces and separated into individual layers.
  • Assemble the Spiedies in the following order: red bell pepper, onion, chicken (folded into C shape on the skewer), green bell pepper, onion, chicken (C shape), alternately, finishing with a red pepper strip after the fourth piece of chicken on each skewer.
  • Spread the skewered items out on each skewer, so they will cook evenly and quickly.
  • Place the Spiedies on a grill or a griddle and cook approximately one minute per side, turning four times.
  • Serve immediately with Spiedino (Spiedies) dipping sauce, about 1/4 cup per serving.
