Chicken Salad Empanadas Recipe
Ingredients:
2 Cups Cooked Shredded Chicken (280g)
½ Teaspoon Salt (3g)
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper (0.5g)
½ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (0.16g)
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice (30ml)
¼ Cup Celery, Chopped Small (25g)
½ Cup Mayonnaise (104g)
1 Can Refrigerated Biscuits (8 Biscuits)
Directions:
In a bowl, mix together the chicken, lemon juice, salt, pepper, celery, and mayonnaise. Flatten by hand or roll out the 8 biscuits to form circles, about 6 inches big. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the center of each circle leaving space at the edges. Fold dough over the chicken and press edges together. Use a fork to seal edges; cut slits on top of each empanada.
Place empanadas on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for about 18 to 20 minutes or until golden.
