– 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Instructions
Creating delicious Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Skewers is straightforward. Follow these simple instructions to cook up a fantastic meal:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken cubes, coating well. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, wash and cut the vegetables into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
3. Preheat the Grill: Get your grill ready by preheating it. For charcoal grills, let the coals burn until they are covered with gray ash. For gas grills, set to medium-high heat.
4. Skewer the Ingredients: Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables for balance.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has nice grill marks. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.
