Chicken Empanadas “Jersey Girl Knows Best”

Have you ever had an empanada?! It is a delicious pocket filled with meat, veggies or fruit! You can stuff them with anything you like. They are super easy
Here are all the ingredients together. Mix them all together. The chicken should end up being shredded by the end.
I like to start pinching the two sides together in the middle first.
Use a fork to seal the edges of the empanada. Press firmly so both sides
Line a baking sheet with parchment or if using foil spray the bottom with non-stick cooking spray.
As you are filling the empanadas start placing them on the baking sheet.
Look at those brown and delicious empanadas. The smell in my house is amazing! You can pair these with salsa, sour cream, guacamole and some rice on the side. I hope you enjoyed this recipe and follow my page for more easy recipes. You can also follow me on HomeTalk and UpStyle.
