Ingredients

1 package PERDUE® SHORT CUTS® Carved Chicken Breast, Southwestern Style, 6 oz.
(alternate: PERDUE® SHORT CUTS® Carved Chicken Breast, Original Roasted)
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar/jack cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 can (16.3 ounces) jumbo homestyle refrigerated biscuits
1 beaten egg yolk mixed with 1 teaspoon water

 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.  Chop chicken into 1-inch pieces and combine with barbecue sauce, onion, cheese and jalapeno pepper.
  2. Roll biscuits out on lightly floured surface, to discs about 4 1/2 inches in diameter.  Brush outer edges of the disc with egg mixture.  Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of chicken mixture in center of each disc.  Fold half the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to crimp.  Place empanadas on ungreased cookie sheet and brush tops with remaining egg yolk.

BBQ Chicken Empanadas
By Trina Taylor | October 3, 2009, 1:21 am | Allentown, PA

Empanadas! WOW, I am not one for trying new things. And I try alot to get out of cooking dinners. My cooking is so the same old. As soon as I received this e-mail recipe I took one look at the picture and WOW my family enjoyed it all. Let's just say more of these easy, not to much time consuming healthy meal recipes. I might actually end up loving to cook. Great recipe! Thank You.
