Ingredients

Filling-

3 chicken breast

chicken bouillon cube

salt to taste

pepper to taste

garlic powder

1 jalapeno, seeded and diced small

1/2 yellow onion diced

sauce-

1 can of green enchilada sauce

1/4-1/2 cup of heavy cream

handful of chopped cilantro

1 small can of diced green chiles

pinch of oregano

garlic powder

12 flour tortillas

mexican cheese blend

guacamole

shredded lettuce

Directions

In a saucepot, add chicken breast, chicken bouillon cube, and salt and pepper. Let boil until chicken is cooked. remove chicken and chop.

In another sauce pan, add enchilada sauce, green chiles, cilantro, and oregano and garlic powder. Add salt to taste if it needs it. Let simmer.

In a large sauce pan, add a little vegetable oil, add onion, and jalapeno. Let cook then add chopped or shredded chicken, season to taste. letting it fry a little. Add a little of the enchilada sauce to "get it kinda wet" then set aside. (DOnt add the cream yet to the sauce or filling, the cream is just for the sauce that goes on top). Also, dont add to much sauce to the fillng because u dont want it to get the tortilla soggy when u fry.

Heat oil in a large saucepan about 4inches deep. The way i test it is if when i stick the end of a wooden spoon in the oil, bubbles form around it, its ready. Add a generous amount of filling to each tortilla, Roll like a burrito, and fasten with a toothpick, continue with all tortillas, until filling is done. I usually have enough filling for about 8-12 chimis. Then add them about 3 or four at a time to hot oil, DOnt add to many at once. Let fry turning to let it get crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.

Turn heat off to sauce, and add cream, stir well and check seasonings. To the plate, add the chimis, sauce, and top with cheese. U can microwave if u like to melt cheese. Microwave for about 10 secs. top with shredded lettuce, sour cream or/and guacamole.
