Method
In a bowl, combine the chicken breast cubes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili flakes, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp oil; mix until the pieces are evenly coated.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken pieces are evenly coated with seasonings. Use your hands to mix for thorough coverage.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat, add 1 tbsp butter, then add the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is golden brown and reaches 165°F. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure browning.
During the final minute of cooking, add 1 tsp freshly minced garlic and stir to distribute the flavor.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Garlic becomes fragrant. Stir quickly to avoid burning.
Pour in ½ cup heavy whipping cream and add the softened cream cheese; stir continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy, then simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until it thickens enough to cling to the chicken.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Sauce is smooth and thick enough to coat the chicken. Stir constantly to prevent curdling.
Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp lemon juice and the chopped parsley, remove the pan from heat, and let the filling cool slightly.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Filling has cooled slightly. Let it rest for easier handling.
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until they are flexible.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Tortillas are warm and pliable. Wrap in a damp paper towel if microwaving.
Divide the chicken filling evenly among the tortillas, sprinkle each portion with shredded mozzarella, fold in the sides, and roll tightly into rolls.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Rolls are tightly sealed with filling enclosed. Tuck the sides firmly before rolling.
Heat a shallow layer of 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat, place the rolls seam‑side down, and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Rolls are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Turn carefully to keep seam intact.
Allow the rolls to rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice each roll diagonally and serve hot.
