  2. 2 Place remaining marinade in a zip-top bag and add chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
  3. 3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the refrigerator.
  4. 4 Combine bell peppers, onion, and zucchini in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  5. 5 Make the kabobs by alternating chicken with bell peppers, pineapple, onion, and zucchini. Drizzle some of the sauce from the zip-top bag onto the kabobs.
  6. 6 Cook on the preheated grill, turning every few minutes and drizzling any remaining sauce from the bag over top, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  7. 7 About 10 minutes before the skewers are done, mix cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Put the 1/4 cup reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add cornstarch-water mixture and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 7 to 8 minutes.
