Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pie dough crusts (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken (I used rotisserie)
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup enchilada sauce
1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and finely diced (optional))
1 egg (beaten)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Roll out the pie dough and cut it into large circles (I used a 3 7/8 inch biscuit cutter, but you could use a small bowl instead).
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, enchilada sauce, and jalapeño.
  • Place a tablespoon-sized scoop of filling on each of the circles of dough, and fold the edges together. Crimp the edges with a fork or twist them together to seal the dough.
  • Place on the prepared baking sheets and cut a slit in the top of each empanada, or pierce each with a fork a few times.
  • Brush each empanada with the beaten egg. Bake in preheated oven 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
