Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice them into thin strips, about ¼‑inch wide.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is cut into thin, even strips. Keep the strips similar in size for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Season the chicken strips in a large bowl with garlic salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper; toss to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, light mayo, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley; stir until smooth.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cheese mixture is smooth. Stir until the garlic and parsley are evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Lay each low‑calorie tortilla flat on a clean surface, spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto the center, and sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella over the mixture.

  6. 6

    Arrange a few seasoned chicken strips on top of the cheese, then roll the tortilla tightly, tucking the seam underneath to form a secure roll.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Tortilla is tightly rolled with the seam tucked underneath. Keep the filling inside the tortilla as you roll.

  7. 7

    Place the rolls seam‑side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12‑15 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and the tortillas are lightly browned.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Mozzarella is melted and tortillas are lightly browned. Check the rolls before removing from the oven.

  9. 9

    Remove the rolls from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving, allowing the filling to set.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Filling has settled after resting.

  10. 10

    To store for later, allow the rolls to cool completely, then wrap each individually in plastic wrap and freeze.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Rolls are cool before wrapping for the freezer. Wrap each roll individually once fully cooled.

  11. 11

    For reheating from frozen, wrap a roll in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 3‑4 minutes; optionally finish in a hot skillet for 1‑2 minutes per side to restore crispness.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The center is hot and the skillet restores crispness. Use the optional skillet finish after microwaving.
