Ingredients:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups cooked chicken
1 Tbsp chili powder
salt and pepper
5 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup cheddar, shredded
1 package refrigerated pie crust
nonstick cooking spray
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Heat oil in small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic and cook until soft 4 to 5 minutes. Add chopped chicken, chili powder, salt, and pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through; transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
3. Using 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out rounds from pie crust. Place a tablespoon or so of chicken mixture onto each pastry round. Brush edges with water, fold dough over, and seal edges with a fork. Spray tops with cooking spray and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake empanadas until they are brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve plain or with salsa and/or sour cream.
