Step 1
In a large nonreactive bowl, stir together the red onion, garlic, lemon grass, soy sauce, peanut oil, turmeric, brown sugar, cumin, ginger, salt, and pepper.
Reserve about 2 tablespoons of this marinade in a small bowl and refrigerate until cooking time.
Add the chicken breasts to the remaining marinade, toss to coat well, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 2
About 30 minutes before serving, soak the bamboo skewers in water. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3
Remove the chicken from the bowl and discard the used marinade.
Cut each chicken breast diagonally into 6 long strips, then thread each strip onto a soaked skewer.
Grill the skewers, turning frequently and basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through with brown, crispy edges (approximately 5 to 8 minutes per skewer).
