Slice the chicken breasts into thin slices or small bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, all spice, turmeric, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Marinate for up to 24 hours if desired.
