Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb cubed chicken breast, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated, then let marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Thread 1 medium red onion, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 medium zucchini (all cut into 1-inch cubes) onto skewers, alternating with the marinated chicken cubes to create a checkerboard pattern.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until chicken is golden-brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 4: Arrange the grilled skewers on a platter, fanning out the vegetables to form a circular 'cornhole' design with the chicken cubes as 'holes' in the center, and serve immediately while hot.
