Chipotle Chicken Baked Empanadas Made Easy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine chicken, Neufchatel cheese, and salsa in a saucepan over medium heat until cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and stir until well combined.
• Lay out empanada discs and place 1 tablespoons of chicken filling onto each disc. Fold dough over filling to close. Wet fingers with water and run them along the edges to help seal. Press edges together using the tines of a fork. Place empanadas on the prepared baking sheet and brush with heavy whipping cream.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, stir together shredded cooked chicken, salsa, chipotle peppers and cheese.
• Unfold pie crust and roll out to make slightly thinner.
• Using a 3-inch cutter, cut dough into circles; brush edges lightly with water. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each and fold over to enclose. Press edges with the tines of a fork to seal and place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve with additional salsa and guacamole, if desired.
