Chicken Empanadas Recipes
Chicken empanadas are a beloved Latin American pastry, featuring a golden, flaky crust enveloping a savory filling of seasoned shredded chicken, vegetables, and spices. Whether baked or fried, these hand-held pies are perfect for parties, snacks, or a hearty meal.
The filling typically includes cooked chicken, onions, bell peppers, garlic, cumin, and paprika, often with olives, raisins, or hard-boiled eggs for extra flavor. The dough is made from flour, butter or lard, and water, rolled thin and folded into half-moons.
Mastering the seal is key: a good crimp ensures the filling stays inside during cooking. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
