Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups cooked chicken (finely chopped )
4 oz cream cheese
1 cup monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1 jalapeno, diced & seeded
1 tbsp cumin
salt
fresh ground pepper
1 rolled refrigerated pie crust ( boxed dough)
1 egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Mix all ingredients (except the dough and egg) in a large bowl using rubber spatula.
Roll out the pie crust dough and cut circles, about 5 inches in diameter.
Spoon filling into the middle of the dough circles.
Wet your finger and run it along the edge of the circle(this helps it stick shut) - fold circle in half and pierce the edges with a fork that has been dipped in flour (to prevent sticking to the dough).
Beat the egg and brush over the empanadas.
Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
