Ingredients 

1 tablespoon olive oil
2-3 (1 pound) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
1 onion, finely chopped
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 container (8 ounces) sour cream
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
8 burrito-size (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked. Transfer chicken to a plate. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2” pieces.

Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until onions are translucent.

Stir in flour and cumin until well blended. Stir in chicken broth, bouillon cubes, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes or until mixture is thick.

Remove skillet from heat. Add sour cream, 1 cup of the cheese, and parsley; stir until cheese is melted. Reserve 2 cups sauce. Stir chicken into remaining sauce.

Stack tortillas and place them between 2 damp heavy-weight paper towels. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds or until tortillas are warm and pliable. (To heat tortillas in oven, wrap them in aluminum foil and heat in oven for about 10 minutes.)

For each tortilla, spoon about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture into center. Fold in sides so that they meet in the middle, then roll up from the bottom, making a 5” burrito. Place burritos in the prepared pan. Spoon reserved sauce mixture over burritos.

Cover pan with foil and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until burritos are heated through. Remove foil; sprinkle burritos with remaining 1 cup cheese and bake for 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
