Empanadas de pollo, or chicken empanadas, are another popular variation of this delicious dish. To make the filling, you will need cooked chicken, onions, bell peppers, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Start by sautéing the onions, bell peppers, and garlic until they are soft and fragrant. Then, add the cooked chicken and seasonings, along with the cilantro. Let the filling cool before using it to fill the empanada dough. The dough can be made using the same recipe as for the empanadas de carne. Roll out the dough, cut it into circles, and fill each circle with a spoonful of the chicken filling. Fold the dough over and seal the edges. Bake the empanadas in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve them hot with salsa verde or your favorite dipping sauce.
