Baked Chicken Chimichangas

Baked Chicken Chimichangas are a healthier twist on the old Mexican classic chimichanga recipe. You won’t even miss this chimichanga being fried because they get nice and crispy in this oven-fried version!

These chicken chimichangas can easily be made at home for dinner so keep this chicken recipe in your keeper file.

I’m originally from Mesa, Arizona where phenomenal Mexican restaurants are on every corner. The love for Mexican food is in my blood.

Moving to Florida with the prominent Latin culture I thought I would have the same luxury but a good Mexican is surprisingly hard to find.

The closest decent Mexican joint is about a half-hour away so I end up making it at home most of the time.
