My brother loves these. Very easy to throw together! I always have leftover chicken mixture. Ingredients:
1 (9 3/4 ounce) can chicken breasts, drained |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
3 ounces cream cheese |
1 (8 ounce) can crescent rolls or 1 (8 ounce) can biscuits |
Directions:
1. In bowl, shred chicken with fork and mix in pepper, cheddar, and cream cheese. Mix well.
2. If using crescents, unroll and seal together and. Flatten with a rolling pin.
3. Using about a 3 1/2 inch circle cutter, cut out circles from the dough. Reroll and recut until all the dough has been used.
4. If using biscuits, just flatten.
5. Place about 1 tbsp of chicken mixture into center of each circle. Fold into a half moon shape and seal edges by pressing down all the way around with a fork. Apply a thin layer of butter or spray with butter flavored cooking spray on top of each empanada.
6. Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes until golden.
7. You may need to turn baking sheet halfway around halfway through baking time so all empanadas golden evenly.
