Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Chicken Empanadas Delight.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced chicken, softened Neufchatel cheese, and salsa. Stir until the cheese melts, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste and mix well.
Step 3
Lay out the empanada discs on a clean surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each disc.
Step 4
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Moisten your fingers with water and run them along the edges to help seal the empanadas. Press the edges together using the tines of a fork to ensure they are well sealed.
Step 5
Arrange the empanadas on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with heavy whipping cream for a golden finish.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown.
