These Baked Chicken Chimichangas Are The Cat’s Meow!

Freezer meals are great to have whether you are a busy momma, just want to have back ups for crazy nights, or you want to have one lazy night every now and then without breaking out the pots and pans.  Freezer meals are even great to prepare when you are pregnant and about to give birth.  It makes it easy to just dump everything in the crock pot and go, or pop it in the oven and not have to worry about anything.

Well my friends, add this recipe to your list because this one is GOOD and oh so worth it! Check out what our friends over at The Girl Who Ate Everything had to say about these:

“These Baked Chicken Chimichangas are a healthier twist on the old classic. You won’t even miss them being fried because they get nice and crispy!”

You wanna know what is funny? Not only do I not miss the fried part, I prefer them like this.  They crisp up beautifully!
