In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, and 4 teaspoons salt. Add the chicken breasts, stirring to coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
When you're ready to cook, preheat a grill to high heat and lightly oil the grates. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, discarding any leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear when pierced.
While the chicken grills, melt the 1/2 cup butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.
