Directions
Easy (Yet Awesome) Chicken Empanadas, I came up with this recipe by mixing a few different ones that I have used I think it’s awesome and has great flavor I like to put Cholula hot sauce on mine and dip in sour cream Hope you like it!, I couldn’t find the box pie crusts, so I just used the pre-made pie crusts used 3 pie crusts, rolled them flat, and then cut my 4 circles The recipe itself is simple I ended up making 12 – 4 pies and still had a lot of the filling left Seems like a waste Use very little of the chicken broth as stated used too much and decided to thicken the mixture with a little cornstarch That worked well The flavors were good, but I might add a little more garlic I ended up freezing the leftover pies for quick lunches
