Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with kosher salt, black pepper, and half of the curry powder (1/2 tablespoon).
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
While the chicken is cooling, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of curry powder until smooth and well combined.
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, chop it into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, diced celery, sliced scallions, and golden raisins. Pour the yogurt dressing over the chicken mixture and toss until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a handful of baby spinach in the center of the tortilla. Scoop about 1/4 of the curried chicken mixture over the spinach.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro (if using) on top, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a wrap.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy serving.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to eat.
