Instructions

Roast the garlic: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the top off each garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic bulbs in foil or place them in a mini cocotte, then roast for about 30 minutes until the cloves are tender and golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Prepare the garlic sauce: Once the garlic has cooled, squeeze out the roasted cloves and mash them into a paste. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the roasted garlic paste. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the chicken powder. Add thyme and parsley if using. Let the sauce simmer gently for 4-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combine chicken: Season the garlic cream sauce with salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Continue cooking on medium heat until the chicken is heated through and evenly coated with the sauce.
Assemble the wraps: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon a generous amount of the garlic chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken mixture.
Wrap and cook: Roll up the tortilla tightly from the bottom, making sure to keep the filling snug inside. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip the wrap and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot for a delicious and comforting meal.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor; leftover cooked chicken would also work well.
You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but it may be less thick.
Adding fresh herbs like thyme and parsley is optional but adds a nice herbal depth.
To make it spicier, consider adding a pinch of red chili flakes to the sauce.
For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
Make sure to cook the wraps on medium heat to get a crispy exterior without burning.
