Step 1
Toss shredded chicken with warm spices, salt, pepper, and half the cashews in a bowl.
Step 2
Mix cooked rice into the chicken mixture until evenly combined and fragrant.
Step 3
Lay one phyllo sheet flat, brush lightly with melted butter, then place 1/4 of the chicken-rice mixture along the short edge.
Step 4
Roll tightly into a log, tucking in the sides as you go, then brush the outside with melted butter.
Step 5
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until sizzling. Sear the ouzi seam-side down for 3 minutes until golden.
Step 6
Flip and cook 2 more minutes until the second side is crispy. Repeat with remaining phyllo, chicken, and butter.
Step 7
Serve hot, sprinkled with remaining toasted cashews and a pinch of salt.
