Chicken Chimichangas



2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
Taco Seasoning
1 3.5 oz can of green chiles
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 flour tortillas (large tortillas)
Vegetable oil

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning. (I sprinkled lightly because I wanted more of the flavors to come out with the whole dish rather than just totally taco flavor)
  • Bake chicken for 20 minutes.
  • Turn over and sprinkle taco seasoning on other side of chicken.
  • Bake another 20 minutes.
  • Let chicken cool.
  • Cut into thin slices or shred with forks.
  • To the chicken, add the green chiles and cheese.
  • Mix well.
  • Heat tortillas slightly so they are easy to fold. (usually about 30 seconds in the microwave).
  • Spoon some filling directly into middle of tortilla.
  • Fold the farthest side first over the filling, then fold the ends into the middle, then roll it up.
  • The ends should be completely closed.
  • Heat oil until water sizzles when drops hit the oil.
  • Make sure chimichanga is halfway submerged, fold side down when you first put the chimichanga in the oil.
  • Let cook for 2 minutes and turn over and cook another 2 minutes.

  • Drain on paper towels.


  • Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, salsa, or whatever you like on your Mexican food.
