BAKED CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS



Baked Chicken Chimichangas image

I developed this quick and easy recipe through trial and error. I used to garnish it with sour cream, too, but I eliminated it in order to lighten the recipe. My friends all love it when I cook these chimichangas, and they're much healthier than deep-fried. -Rickey Madden, Clinton, South Carolina

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS



Oven-Fried Chicken Chimichangas image

A fast and healthier way to serve Chimichangas than the traditional deep fried. These are very good, and you may dress them up to you own preference. I like to serve with green chile sauce sometimes instead of the picante sauce.
