Steps
Sequence Step
1In a medium saucepan, combine broth and 1 can of water in order to boil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and reduce to a simmer, and cook for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool in poaching liquid, 15-30 minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks.
2Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, combine cheese, chicken, cumin, oregano, and salsa. Place one portion filling in center of a tortilla; fold left and right sides of tortillas over filling, then fold tops and bottoms over sides to form square, securing with toothpick if necessary. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
3Place each chimichanga searn-side down on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Garnish with salsa, sour cream, and lettuce.
