Paula Deen'S Spicy Chicken Empanadas
- 3 cups cooked chicken (finely chopped)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 jalapeno, diced & seeded
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 1 rolled refrigerated pie crust (boxed dough)
- 1 egg
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Mix all ingredients (except the dough and egg) in a large bowl using rubber spatula.
- Roll out the pie crust dough and cut circles, about 5 inches in diameter.
- Spoon filling into the middle of the dough circles.
- Wet your finger and run it along the edge of the circle(this helps it stick shut) - fold circle in half and pierce the edges with a fork that has been dipped in flour (to prevent sticking to the dough).
- Beat the egg and brush over the empanadas.
- Bake at 400u0b0F for 15 minutes.
