  • When it’s cool-off add potatoes and carrots in a separate bowl and set aside. Skin, debone and diced the chicken and set aside.
  • In a large frying pan heat oil and butter then saute garlic, onions and diced chicken for about 3 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and carrots saute for another 2 minutes, then add the reserved chicken stock, milk, and a pinch of salt.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes, then sift flour over the mixture and stir until dry. Remove from fire then let it cool completely.

To make the Empanada Crust:

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Add in chilled and cubes butter and lard or vegetable shortening. Using a fork or hand pinch together until it forms a crumb. Add ice cold water 1 tablespoon at a time and mix well. Knead the dough for 3 minutes and form a ball.
  • Let it rest for 15 minutes before using. Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut dough into your desired size, using empanada cutter, or a cookie cutter or any available round cutter you have.
  • Place filling in the center and fold dough over to the opposite side. Crimp the dough with fork or with your fingers to seal the edges and repeat procedure until done. Place chicken empanada on a baking tray, prick each empanada with fork and brush with egg wash.
  • Bake in a preheated oven 375F, for about 30-40 minutes or until lightly brown. Time varies depend on the size of your empanada.

    Hello–

    I want to try this recipe. Do you have any tips how to make the dough perfect. I haven’t tried baking apple pie, so I don’t know. Do I need to knead it?

    By the way, I like your site. It’s really informative.

    Having the chicken cubed made the filling a little too airy and I found the crust recipe a little too doughy. It could be something I did. (Not a very experienced cook) but I think ground chicken would be a little fuller and would allow the filling to stand up against the crust.
