1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, but into 1 1/2 inch pieces

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces

1/2 tsp salt

Marinade:

1/4 c soy sauce

2 TB brown sugar

1 TB sesame oil

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 tsp minced fresh gingerroot

Dipping Sauce:

2 c mayonnaise

1/4 c sugar

1/4 c soy sauce

2 TB sesame seeds, toasted

1 TB sesame oil

1/2 tsp white pepper (though black works just fine)

Directions

In a bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.

Marinade chicken for 2 hours.

Drain and discard marinade.

Toss the asparagus with olive oil and salt.

On six metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread one chicken piece and two asparagus pieces.

Grill, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until chicken juices run clear and asparagus is crisp-tender.
