Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Place a large saute pan over medium heat and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, jalapeno, garlic, green onions and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cheese, cream cheese, sauteed mixture and hot sauce together.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Set aside. Sprinkle flour on your work surface and unroll the pie dough.
- Roll out each round to a 13-inch circle. Cut each crust into eight 4-inch circles with a biscuit cutter. You can knead the scraps and then roll out, if necessary. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each round. Brush the edges with the egg wash and fold each circle in half. Gently press on the top of the empanada to release any air. Seal the edges with a fork and brush the top with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle with chile powder. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Serve the chicken empanadas with the Chili Lime Dipping Sauce.
- Combine the yogurt, chipotle and lime zest and juice in a bowl.

Steps:
- See Photo Galleries for images of all three instruction sets. Also the video at the beginning of the blog shows how to crimp the dough edges.
- Dough
- Cube two sticks of cold butter. The wrappers can be folded in half and saved for lightly greasing the baking sheets.
- In a small bowl, beat two eggs. Mix in the white vinegar and water.
- Put flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, or food processor with metal blade. Pulse or mix a few times to distribute the salt.
- Add all the butter pieces and mix/pulse until crumbly and no pieces are bigger than pea-sized. This also can be done in a bowl by hand, with two butter knives or a pastry cutter.
- Slowly drizzle in the egg-vinegar-water mixture while running the mixer.
- As soon as the dough comes together, remove it from the bowl, knead it a few times on a lightly floured counter, and then divide it in two pieces.
- Shape the pieces into squares (about one inch thick) to make later cutting easier. Wrap the squares tightly and refrigerate them at least 30 minutes and up to two days.
- Filling
- Grind 1 pound of raw chicken (about 2 breasts) in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can slightly freeze the chicken to make it easier to handle, and then chop it into small pieces with a sharp knife.
- Chop the onion and pepper(s).
- In a large fry pan, heat the oil, and then add the onion, pepper, and spices (not the salt). Saute, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the ground chicken, bread crumbs, and water. Lightly simmer for about 10 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Stir frequently and add more water to deglaze the pan if the mixture begins to stick to the pan.
- The filling should be wet but not watery. When you scrape some filling to the side, a puddle shouldn't form in the empty space, but if you press down on the mixture with a spoon, some liquid should creep over the edges of the spoon.
- Mix in a half teaspoon of salt, taste the filling, and add more as needed.
- Let the filling cool for about a half hour. You can transfer it to a bowl and refrigerate it to speed cooling. Also, you can make it a day ahead and refrigerate until you are ready to use it.
- Assembly
- On a flat clean workspace, set out a rolling pin, bench knife or large knife, two large lightly greased baking sheets, and extra flour for dusting.
- Flour your work surface and remove one of the dough squares from the refrigerator.
- Unwrap the dough and cut it into 12 squares (4x3).
- Smoosh the cubes into small round discs.
- Roll each disc into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter and ~1/8 inch thick. Flour lightly, just to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin. The finished pieces can be layered in a staggered way.
- When you have finished all twelve, cover them with a slightly damp towel or a piece of plastic wrap to prevent them from drying while you do the next twelve.
- After all 24 circles are rolled out, begin preheating your oven to 375F, and remove the filling from the refrigerator.
- Assemble empanadas using your first batch of 12 dough circles first. I found it easiest to lay a dough circle in the palm of one hand, and put a dinner-spoonful of filling into the middle of the circle. Then I folded the dough in half and laid the empanada on the baking sheet. Resist the temptation to overstuff.
- Crimp the edges of the empanada with a fork, or using your two index fingers: one to anchor/limit the dough fold, and the other to fold the dough edges up and inward.
- When 12 empanadas are finished on the baking sheet, brush the top of them with a beaten egg, and put them in the preheated oven to bake for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- While the first sheet is baking, assemble the second set of twelve empanadas and egg-wash them.
- You can put the second baking sheet in the oven while the first is still cooking. Just make sure to rotate and shift the tray(s) every 5 minutes or so.
- Let the empanadas cool about 10 minutes before eating.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
- Freezing is best done with uncooked empanadas before the egg-wash. Freeze on a flat surface and then transfer to a plastic bag or sealed container.

CHICKEN EMPANADAS
I'm showing you how to make what is one of the world's greatest meat-filled pastries. Or, it can be, if you avoid the three most common mistakes: empanadas that are under-seasoned, under-filled, and under-cooked. But, if you use the following technique, you'll avoid all of those issues, no matter what kind of filling you use!

Steps:
- Pour olive oil into a saucepan; add onion, poblano, garlic, salt, pepper, chipotle, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and cooked chicken, pressing down as you go. Add currants.
- Place saucepan over high heat; cook until onions begin to soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes with green chiles. Pour in 1/3 cup water and mix to combine.
- Bring mixture to a simmer; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquids are cooked down, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Chill thoroughly before use, 1 to 2 hours.
- While filling simmers, combine flour, salt, and sugar for dough in a bowl with your hand. Grate in cold butter, pausing as needed to combine. Drizzle in beaten egg and water. Mix with a fork until it starts to form a shaggy dough.
- Use your hands to squeeze mixture into a lump of dough; transfer to a work surface and knead into a ball of dough, 10 to 15 seconds.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unwrap chilled dough and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Use a bench scraper to divide into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each dough piece into an 8-inch circle.
- Drain any excess juice from filling. Top each dough circle with a rounded 1/2-cup measure of the chicken mixture. Sprinkle some pepper Jack cheese over top.
- Brush edges of each dough circle with a small amount of water to dampen; fold over and seal with fingertips, making sure to not trap in any pockets of air. Crimp using your fingertips or a fork.
- Combine beaten egg and 2 teaspoons water for egg wash. Transfer empanadas to the prepared baking sheet and brush over egg wash. Sprinkle with cayenne.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until browned and crispy on the edges, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

- Heat a medium sized skillet on medium-high heat. Add the Onion and garlic and sauté 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
- To assemble the empanadas, place a spoonful of the filling (about 1 tbsp) on the middle of each empanada disc. It might not seem like much, but it’s easier to seal an empanada that isn’t overstuffed.

- Make the dough: In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in the butter and egg yolks. Cut the butter into the flour until the dough has a grainy texture without large chunks of butter. Add in cold water, and mix. Place dough onto a clean kitchen surface and knead until the dough is smooth. Divide the dough into two. Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside.
- Make the filling: In a large frying pan over medium heat, add two tablespoons of oil, and fry potatoes until cooked. Transfer cooked potatoes to a bowl. Add more oil, and sauté garlic and onions. When onions are softened, lower heat to its lowest setting and add chicken. Season with a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, curry powder, MSG, black pepper, and green bell pepper. Let cook, without stirring, until chicken is cooked on one side. Stir until all the chicken is cooked through. Add evaporated milk, and stir for half a minute then turn off heat. Add remaining fish sauce. Season the filling to taste, and set aside to cool completely.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough ball into a rectangle shape until about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out nine 4 ½-inch circles with a cookie cutter or a large bowl. Pile the circles together, and set aside. Knead the leftover dough together, adding a drop of water as needed if too dry, and roll out again to cut out more circles. Repeat with the other dough ball.
- Once ready to fill, place around 2 tablespoons filling at the center of the dough circle, leaving at least 3/4-inch on all sides. Lightly wet the edges of the dough with water. With both hands under the dough, bring the edges together while pushing in the filling. Place the dough on the surface so that it can stand, edges up. Pinch the edges with your fingers and seal together. Tilt to one side and crimp edges with a fork. Repeat with all the remaining circles.
