1-1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1" strips
3 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions:
- In large bowl, mix together garlic, soy sauce, nectar, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken stock, salt, pepper, five spice blend, and scotch bonnet pepper. Marinade chicken for at least four hours (or overnight).
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
