Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic in olive oil until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add cooked chicken, parsley, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika; mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough and brush with melted butter.

Place another sheet on top and brush with more butter.

Spoon a portion of the chicken filling along one edge of the dough.

Roll the dough tightly around the filling to form a log shape.

Place the rolled borek on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
