1/3 tsp pepper 
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin powder 
1 tsp garlic minced

   Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat grill to medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray.
4. Using wooden skewers, alternate between pieces of chicken and onion, piercing each piece and sliding it to the end, building a stack of skewered ingredients as you go.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook until no longer pink inside, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes so you cook the chicken on each side.
6. While the chicken cooks, place the grated cucumber into a kitchen towel and ring out the excess water.
