Time 1h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds cooked skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
3 (4.5 ounce) cans chopped green chile peppers
⅔ cup sesame oil
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons minced chipotle chile peppers
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 large flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, chopped green chile peppers, sesame oil, sugar, chipotle chile peppers, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate chicken in the refrigerator, 1 hour to overnight. Drain chicken in a colander.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 tortilla in the hot oil for 5 seconds; flip tortilla and cook for 5 seconds more. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over filling. Spoon filling in a line down the middle of a tortilla. Fold opposing edges of the tortilla to overlap the filling. Roll 1 of the opposing edges around the filling.
  • Place each chimichanga, seam-side down, in the hot oil of the same skillet until browned, about 3 minutes per side.

The chicken chimichangas were a little bit too spicy for my taste, but other than that they were very good. The filling was flavorful and the chimichangas were crispy.
