Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix shredded chicken with lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until fragrant.
Step 2
Brush one phyllo sheet with melted butter. Layer 2 more sheets on top, brushing each with butter.
Step 3
Spoon half the chicken mixture and half the pine nuts along one long edge, leaving a 2-inch border.
Step 4
Roll tightly from the filling side, tucking in the sides as you go. Brush the outside generously with butter.
Step 5
Repeat steps 2–4 with remaining phyllo, chicken, and pine nuts. Place both rolls seam-side down on a sheet pan.
Step 6
Bake for 10–12 minutes until deep golden brown and edges curl slightly. Slice and serve hot.
