Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken into small pieces.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the shredded carrot and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and any excess moisture evaporates. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, cream cheese, feta cheese, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix thoroughly to form the filling.
Unroll the phyllo dough sheets and cover with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Brush lightly with melted butter. Lay a second sheet on top and brush with more butter. Repeat until you stack 3 sheets.
Spoon about 1/6 of the chicken filling along one short side of the stacked phyllo dough. Roll tightly into a log, folding in the sides as you roll.
Place the filled roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the surface with more melted butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 6 rolls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and crisp.
Allow the rolls to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. If freezing for later, cool completely, wrap tightly in foil, and store in an airtight freezer bag for up to 3 months.
