Cheesy Garlic Chicken Rolls

Steps

1. 1

   Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-size pieces. Prepare the parsley and mozzarella so they are ready to add to the filling.

2. 2

   Add the cottage cheese, light mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, garlic salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, then set the creamy garlic sauce aside.

3. 3

   Season the diced chicken with the listed garlic salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. The source says to season until the chicken changes color; avoid adding extra salt because the garlic salt is already included.

4. 4

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until all pieces are golden brown and the thickest pieces reach 165°F (74 °C) / 74°C (165 °F), about 8–12 minutes.

   Transfer the cooked chicken to a mixing bowl. Add the fat-free mozzarella, blended garlic sauce, and fresh parsley.

6. 6

   Mix the chicken, cheese, sauce, and parsley until evenly combined and the filling is creamy and well distributed.

7. 7

   Place one tortilla on a work surface. Add an even portion of the filling near the lower third, fold in the sides, and roll it tightly into a sealed cylinder. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling to make 10 rolls.

8. 8

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 °C) / 200°C (400 °F). Arrange the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet and lightly spray or brush them with oil so the tortillas can crisp. The original video refers to on-screen baking directions that are not available in the supplied source; bake until heated through and lightly golden, approximately 12–15 minutes.

   Serve the rolls hot, or allow them to cool completely before wrapping each roll in aluminum foil or placing them in an airtight freezer bag.

10. 10

    Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat a frozen roll, wrap it in a wet paper towel, place it on a plate, and microwave for 3–4 minutes, checking that the center is hot. For a crisp exterior, toast it in a pan or air-fry it for a few additional minutes.
