Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish with no-stick cooking spray.
2
Rub olive oil over both sides of the chicken breasts to help the seasoning adhere and to enhance roasting.
3
In a small bowl, combine garlic salt, parsley, basil, and chicken bouillon. Rub this fragrant herb mixture generously over the chicken breasts, ensuring complete coverage.
4
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked—the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) and no pink remains. Baking times may vary depending on the thickness of the breasts.
5
Once cooked, allow the chicken to cool for a few minutes until it is manageable to handle. Cut the chicken into strips about 5-6 inches in length and 1/4 to 1/3 inch in width. Set aside.
6
In a mixing bowl, unwrap the Swiss cheese wedges and blend them with the chopped cilantro until smooth and creamy. Set this cheese mixture aside.
7
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
8
To assemble the wraps, place one tortilla on a plate and spread 1/4 of the cheese-cilantro mixture evenly across the surface. Top with approximately 1 tablespoon of honey mustard sauce.
9
Layer 1 romaine leaf (or spinach leaves) in the center of each tortilla. Add a generous amount of chicken strips, followed by cucumber slices, red onion, and tomato as desired. Drizzle a bit more honey mustard over the veggies for extra flavor.
10
Begin folding by bringing the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the fillings. Fold one side of the tortilla towards the center, then gently roll it along the filled edge to form a tight wrap.
11
Repeat for each tortilla. Serve immediately, garnished with additional cucumber slices and a sprig of fresh cilantro for a vibrant touch.
