Great way to use leftover chicken. You can serve these as a meal or as an appetizer. Use your imagination with the filling. You could assemble the empanadas and freeze before baking to have them ready to go for a quick meal later.

"Great flavor in the filling. I used a little bit of flour to roll the dough and I think I used too much as it tasted a bit floury. Serve them with salsa and sour cream!"
