Buffalo Chicken Empanadas Recipe 455

BUFFALO CHICKEN EMPANADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F, line a baking sheet with some parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
• First make your 2 ingredient dough, mix your flour with your greek yogurt, for best results I use just a little less yogurt than flour. Knead dough together and shape into 2 balls, then divide those 2 balls into 3 balls each, I weighed mine out and each ball of dough was 2.2oz (so you need 6 balls weighing approx 2.2oz each)
• Now make your filling by mixing together your chicken, cream cheese, ranch, shredded cheese and hot sauce.
• Dust your work surface with a little flour and roll each dough ball out, use a rolling pin if needed, I found it best to use it.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of filling onto your rolled out dough, fold dough over forming a pocket and then use a fork to seal ends shut, also use the fork to poke some holes in the middle of your finished empanada. Repeat with remaining dough balls
• Place empanadas onto the baking sheet and brush with egg whites.
• Bake in the oven for 26 minutes or until golden brown, remove from oven and serve warm.
• These will freeze well, store any leftovers in the fridge.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet and add diced onion and green pepper. Saute until the vegetables start to soften and add 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic. Saute another minute and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, combine 3 cups finely diced rotisserie chicken, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce, and sauteed onions and peppers. Give it a taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
• Whisk 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon water.
• Place the Empanada discos on parchment paper and brush edges of dough lightly with egg mixture. Place chicken filling in the center of each disco. Fold dough over the filling and press edges with a fork to seal. Continue making the empanadas until all the filling is used. I was able to make 12 discos with the filling. That will vary depending on how full you make them.
• Place the empanadas on the parchment lined baking sheets leaving space in between. I had 6 empanadas on each baking sheet.
• Brush the empanadas with the remaining egg mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until slightly browned and crispy.
• Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve with your favorite dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
