Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove the chicken meat from the breasts, and discard the skin and bones. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green chilies, jalapeno and garlic. Cook and stir for a few minutes, until fragrant, then stir in the cream cheese and half of the Monterey Jack. As the cheese begins to melt, gradually stir in the water. Chop the chicken meat, and stir into the skillet. Remove from the heat.

Chicken and Mushroom Chimichangas
These chicken and mushroom chimichangas include fresh green chiles and pepper Jack cheese encased in a crispy tortilla. This recipe is not Mexican food; it's a 100-percent American invention. The chimichangas are not deep-fried; they're pan-fried in a bit of oil. I like serving them with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
