Empanadas de Pollo al Verdeo (Chicken and Spring Onion Empanadas) image

This exquisite, yet so easy-to-make chicken empanada recipe is just amazing. If made for adults only, I like adding a little bit of white wine to the chicken for extra flavor.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
1 tablespoon butter
1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
12 empanada pastry discs
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil; grease with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir spring onions and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Arrange pastry discs on a flat work surface. Dab a little water around the rims. Place a large tablespoonful of the chicken mixture in the center; fold pastry over and press with a fork to seal.
  • Transfer empanadas to the prepared baking sheets. Brush beaten egg over the tops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

These empanadas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought dough to save time, but the filling was homemade. The flavor was amazing and my family loved them.
