Krista's Kickin' Chicken Chimichangas

"My family and I are HUGE Mexican food fans, but it becomes quite pricy to eat out often - not to mention all that fried food does a number on the waistline! To solve my chicken chimichanga addiction, I finally created a recipe to make at home that tastes just like the real thing from the restaurant. And even better, it's more healthy for you because the chimichanga isn't fried!! I like to serve my chimichangas with white queso, but there are other ways to serve them, i.e. enchilada red sauce. Most grocers sell this queso pre-made in the cheese section of the store. If you can't find this cheese, there are plenty of recipes online that show you how to make it at home."
