Instructions

Step 1

Pre-Cook your Chicken and shred with 2 forks. I bake mine in the oven at 350° for 45 minutes

Step 2

In a separate bowl combine Softened Cream Cheese, Monterey Jack Cheese, and the seasoning. Mix well until everything is evenly mixed and then add in the shredded chicken and stir again

Step 3

Fill each of the 8 Tortillas with 1/8 of the Chicken Mixture and roll up like a burrito (Folding in the ends, then each side

Step 4

Place seam side down in a 9x13 baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray

Step 5

Brush each tortilla with butter and bake in the oven for 15 Minutes at 375°

Step 6

Remove from oven, turn over and brush the other side with butter then cook again for another 15 minutes at 375 degrees

Step 7

While the Chimichangas are baking the second time heat the sauce in a large skillet over medium heat

Step 8

Combine the Cream of Chicken Soup, Green Chiles, & Diced Jalapeno, mix well (Note: You can also blend this together if you prefer a smooth sauce but it's not necessary)

Step 9

When the Chimichangas come out of the over drizzle with the warm sauce, sprinkle with cheese and top with Sour Cream & Green Onions
