What it is
These are pre-made, individual pastry turnovers filled with seasoned chicken. They are designed for quick preparation and offer a convenient way to enjoy a savory snack or appetizer. The pastry is typically flaky, and the chicken filling is seasoned to provide a satisfying flavor profile. Each empanada is sealed to keep the filling contained during cooking.

To prepare these empanadas, they can be heated in an oven or an air fryer until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.

Ensure they are fully heated before serving to enjoy their best texture and flavor.
