### Instructions:
#### Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
1. Begin by seasoning your **chicken breasts** with **salt**, **pepper**, **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, and **paprika**. These simple seasonings will enhance the flavor of the chicken without overpowering it.
2. Heat **olive oil** in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about **6-7 minutes per side**, or until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest for a few minutes. Once cooled slightly, slice the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
#### Step 2: Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce
4. In the same skillet, melt **butter** over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, pour in the **heavy cream** and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to avoid it burning.
5. Add the **cream cheese** and stir until it’s fully melted and combined with the cream.
6. Gradually add the **cheddar cheese**, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a little more cream to reach your desired consistency.
7. Stir in the **dried thyme** (if using) and adjust the seasoning with more **salt** and **pepper** to taste. The result should be a rich, creamy sauce that will perfectly coat the chicken and tortillas.
#### Step 3: Assemble the Tortillas
8. Warm the **flour tortillas** in a dry skillet or microwave them for about 20-30 seconds, just enough to make them soft and pliable.
9. Spoon a generous amount of the **creamy cheese sauce** onto the center of each tortilla. Add a portion of the sliced, **tender chicken** on top of the sauce. You can also sprinkle a little extra cheese on top of the chicken for added cheesiness if you prefer.
10. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to enclose the chicken and sauce.
#### Step 4: Serve
11. Arrange the **chicken-wrapped tortillas** on a serving plate. Spoon some additional **creamy cheese sauce** over the top for an extra indulgent finish. You can garnish with freshly chopped **parsley** for a burst of color and flavor.
12. Serve the wraps with a side of **sour cream** or **salsa** for dipping, if desired.
