In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the marinade is well-blended.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the curried yogurt marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F) and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with your favorite sides such as rice, naan, or a fresh salad.
