Oven-Fried Chicken Chimichangas is a fast and healthier way to serve Chimichangas other than the traditional deep fried. These are very good, and you may dress them up to you own preference.
This is a favorite at my house. I love using this recipe with the remainder of store bought rotisserie chickens.
A green chile sauce is sometimes nice instead of the picante sauce.
