Take a shortcut when making Chicken Salad Empanadas by using canned jumbo biscuits. The biscuits serve as the flaky shell of these savory empanadas. Just seal in chicken, pecans, celery, and bake.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together chicken, mayonnaise, pecans, celery, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Roll biscuits into 6-inch circles. Place about 1/4 cup chicken mixture in center of each circle; fold dough over chicken mixture. Press edges with a fork or crimp to seal. Cut slits in tops of pies to allow steam to escape, if desired. Place pies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden.
