Guys, we need more empanadas in our lives! Today I am presenting these turnovers very popular in all of Latin America with a chicken filling to you. My love for empanadas is pretty visible on my blog, I have a lot of recipes on here, for an overview, check out these eight empanada recipes in this blog post. Just a warning, yes, empanadas do require a bit of time. You will need to make the dough, you will need to make the filling, and then you need to make each empanada separately before baking them. However, what I do love about empanadas is the fact that you can do everything in advance. You may make the dough as well as the filling two days in advance. For me filling each empanada is better than yoga, it really calms me down. Once you get to the baking part, you will be awarded some delicious food!
Today I introduce you to cute hand pies with creamy chicken filling. These hand pies are perfect for a buffet, as finger food, snack, but can also be served as a main with a salad on the side. The chicken filling is creamy, the pastry dough comes together quickly and is spiced with some herbs. In my opinion the perfect combination when you have company coming over.
