Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Garlic
- 2 bulbs garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Sauce and Filling
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons roasted garlic (from above)
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon chicken powder
- Thyme & parsley (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
Wraps
- 3 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar & mozzarella cheese
- Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the tops off each garlic bulb to expose the cloves, then drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic bulbs in foil or place them in a mini cocotte. Roast for about 30 minutes until the cloves are tender and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Prepare the Sauce: Once the garlic has cooled, squeeze out the roasted cloves and mash them thoroughly. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the mashed roasted garlic, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir in chicken powder along with thyme and parsley if using, and let the mixture simmer gently for 4-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add Chicken and Season: Season the creamy sauce with salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Cook the mixture for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through and well 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 filling into the center, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Roll and Cook the Wraps: Roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling snugly. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the wrap from the skillet, slice it in half if desired, and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Roasting garlic mellows its flavor — be sure not to skip this step for best taste.
- If you don’t have chicken powder, you can use chicken broth powder or a well-seasoned chicken bouillon substitute.
- Feel free to add herbs like thyme or parsley to enhance the flavor complexity.
- Use a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheese for the best melty, flavorful filling.
- To make this recipe lighter, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though the texture will be less rich.
