Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken breast
- 2 tsp chicken bouillon
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, minced
- 1 red capsicum, minced
- 1 yellow capsicum, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp of spinach, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg (egg wash)
- Buy some store-bought pie crust
Method
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
- Step 2: Grab a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add your red onion, capsicum and sauté until softened for about 5 minutes. Next, add your garlic and stir and spinach and stir for about one minute.
- Step 3: Add chicken, water, tomato paste, chicken bouillon, onion powder, garlic powder and salt. Bring the liquid to a simmer, stirring often. Cook until liquid has evaporated, but make sure that the mixture is not dry for about 5-8 minutes.
- Step 4: Grab one prepared dough at a time add a heaping ⅓ cup of filling onto one side of the dough. If you're using pie crust, roll the dough out very thin and cut it into disks.
- Step 5: Grab a brush and dip it into the egg wash (1 beaten egg plus 1 tablespoon water) and dampen the inside of it about 1/4 edge of the filled dough. Fold the dough in half. Using a fork, firmly press the edges together. Repeat this process and then arrange it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 6: Brush each empanada with egg wash. Bake for 35 mins or until golden brown.
