BAKED CHICKEN CHIMICHANGAS
Oh boy, these baked chicken chimichangas are fantastic! By brushing the tortillas with oil before baking, they crisp up beautifully but with less fat than deep frying. The meat filling is full of flavor. Cooking the meat with the bone and skin on makes the chicken succulent and rich. Muna's green chili sauce is so simple to make...

Steps:
- 1. Bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add the chicken. Simmer until chicken is cooked (about 20-25 min). Make sure to rotate the chicken occasionally to ensure even cooking.

- 5. Remove the chicken and shred.
- 6. Return to the onion mixture.
- 7. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- 8. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
- 9. Whisk in the broth and simmer for a few minutes.
- 10. Whisk in the other half of green chilies and the sour cream. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
- 11. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling onto each tortilla.
- 12. Sprinkle on some cheese.
