Chicken Empanadas


All I have to say is yummy! This recipe is simple and delicious! You can make this as an appetizer or as a main course. Either way they are sure to be a hit!

Ingredients:

2 1/2 Cups Chopped Chicken (cooked)
8 Oz. Pepper Jack Cheese
4 Oz. Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup Red Bell Pepper (chopped)
1 Jalapeno (seeded and chopped)
1 1/2 t. Salt
1/2 t Pepper
1 T Cumin or Fajita Seasoning
1 Pkg Refrigerated Pie Crusts
Water

Directions:

In a bowl combine chicken and next 7 ingredients. On a lightly floured surface roll out pie crust to a 15 inch circle. Cut out rounds using a 3 inch cookie cutter. Repeat process until all dough is used. Lie rounds on clean surface and brush ends with water. Take 1 heaping teaspoon of chicken mixture and place in center of the round. Gently fold over dough, and pinch ends closed. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until slightly browned. Serve with sour cream, enchilada sauce and any other of your favorite condiments. Enjoy!

  3. Tim and I made these last night, they were delcious. I did not have red pepper, but I added some sliced mushrooms, chives, and a large clove of fresh garlic to the filling. It tasted great! we used the small amount of extra filling to make nachos, which I just had as a snack :-) Thanks Kristie, you never dissappoint! :-)
