Nov 6, 2008

This is a family favorite I created one evening when we first got our deep fryer. If you don't have a deep fryer, a skillet will work just fine.

SERVES 8 , 8 Chimichangas (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    *Put chicken breasts in a large pot, cover with water.
  2. 2
    *Chop up the onion and add it to the water, along with the garlic powder and season all (additional seasoning may be added to the water if desired).
  3. 3
    *Bring to a boil and then simmer until the chicken is completely cooked.
  4. 4
    *Drain the water and dispose of the onion, return the chicken to the pot and shred it with two forks.
  5. 5
    *To the chicken, add the taco seasoning, the cream of chicken soup, the cheddar cheese and the cream cheese. Blend Well.
  6. 6
    *Place this mixture in the middle of your tortillas, fold them securely (use the toothpicks to secure if needed) and then deep fry until golden brown.
