In a large nonreactive bowl, combine the onion, garlic, lemon grass, soy sauce, peanut oil, turmeric, brown sugar, cumin, ginger, salt, and pepper. Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl and refrigerate it until cooking. Add the chicken breasts to the remaining marinade, stir to coat thoroughly, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

About 30 minutes before serving, soak the skewers in water. Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Remove the chicken breasts from the bowl and discard the used marinade. Slice each chicken breast diagonally into 6 long strips, then thread a strip onto one of the soaked skewers. Grill the skewers, turning often and basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through with browned, crispy edges, 5 to 8 minutes per skewer.
