2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup soy sauce (I use low sodium, darn high blood pressure)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 garlic cloves (minced)
3 scallions, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (I used a little more)
wood skewer, soaked in water over 1 hour (bamboo worked for me)

1
Wash the chicken and pat it dry. Cut each breast in half lengthwise, then each half into two strips (can do more if the breast is really thick/wide, looking for about a 1/2 inch strip or even a little less).
2
Place the strips in a storage bag.
3
Combine the soy sauce and next eight ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth.
4
It's going to be an icky green color, don't fear as I initially did!
5
Pour mixture into the bag over the chicken, seal and marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours; squish around a few times over the marinating period.
6
Preheat grill to medium high heat.
7
Thread chicken strips on skewers, place on grill over direct heat, close lid.
8
Grill on each side until done (approx. 5 minutes per side).
