Chicken Empanada
December 15th, 2014 Manny
This is I think the most popular kind of empanada, the chicken empanada. Either you can bake this empanada or fry it if you don’t mind having a lot of grease in your meal. Baking is preferred not only it is healthy because it is grease less, it is also more flaky when you bake it. Those are some advantages of baking pastries rather than frying.

Then, fill each cut dough with 2 Tbsp. of sauteed fillings. Fold dough to form a half moon, press one end to the other.
