Chicken Empanadas
Prep Time: 30 minutes?Cook Time: 25 minutes?Servings: 12 empanadas
Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 package (14 oz) empanada dough discs (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes, shredded chicken, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Place an empanada dough disc on a flat surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of the dough.
Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
