Method

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.

  8. 8

    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.

  9. 9

    Allow the rolls to rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice each roll diagonally and serve hot.
