Chicken empanadas are a tasty and flavorful option for dinner. The filling is made with cooked chicken, onions, bell peppers, and spices. The dough is typically made with flour, butter, and water, resulting in a crispy and flaky crust. To make chicken empanadas, start by cooking the chicken until it is tender and easily shredded. Sauté onions and bell peppers in a pan until they are soft and translucent. Add the shredded chicken to the pan and season with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Allow the filling to cool before assembling the empanadas. Roll out the dough and cut it into circles. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle and fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to seal the edges of the empanadas. Bake the empanadas in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve them hot with a side of salsa or guacamole. Enjoy these delicious chicken empanadas for a satisfying dinner!
