Empanadas Mmmmm




I saw this recipe on Food Network and thought I could do this. I used bought pie crust and cut them into 6" rounds.
The stuffing is Chicken and Mozzerella Cheese.
I used 3 bonless skinless chicken breast halves cut into strips about 1/2" thick. Sauteed them with 1/2 onion fine diced and 2 cloves of diced garlic. Added a dash of salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika and 1/3 can of diced tomatoes drained. cooked this down until chicken is done and then let cool. After cool chicken was shredded up. Placed about 2tbsp of chicken mix in the center of the dough and topped with Mozzerella cheese. Folded over and crimped with fork to seal. Placed on baking sheet with baking mat on it. Melted about 2 tbsp margarine in small bowl and mixed in some powdered garlic and paprika. Used BBQ brush and brushed butter mixture on outside. Baked in preheated 375 degree oven for about 17-20 min until browned. Served with yellow rice. Awsome. Very easy and there is lots of different ways to stuff them.
