Empanadas de pollo 🫶💕✨️💖

Empanadas de pollo, or chicken empanadas, are a popular dish loved by many. This recipe brings together a rich blend of spices and tender chicken, all wrapped in a flaky pastry. To make them, start with cooked, shredded chicken mixed with spices such as cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor. For the dough, combine flour, butter, and a pinch of salt, then slowly add water until you achieve a smooth and pliable consistency. Roll out the dough, cut into circles, and fill them with your chicken mixture before sealing the edges with a fork. Bake or fry until golden brown for that perfect crispy texture. These empanadas are not only a great appetizer but also a fantastic option for gatherings or potlucks. Serve them with a side of salsa or guacamole for an added kick. Whether you’re preparing them for a cozy family dinner or a party, empanadas de pollo are sure to impress and satisfy everyone at the table!
