Excellent...I did add some red onion, taco seasoning, and about 2 oz. more creame cheese.
as suggested by previous reviewer. I used an egg wash as shown in Paula's video,
which produced a golden color. Also, I made a dipping sauce, also suggested by
another reviewer made up of 1C sour cream, 4oz. cream cheese, and 1/2C medium
salsa...to this I added 1/4 t fresh chopped jalapeno (I like it hot. Served with simpl
salad of mixed greens, walnuts, and craisins with simple vinagrette of white basamic
vinegar & olive oil, dry mustard, salt & pepper. Perfect with cold beer as we watched
"I'll Have Another" win the 2012 Kentucky Derby.

p.s. You actually have to use an additional 15oz package of pie crusts as the volume
of Paula's recipe actually requires additional pastry...if you want to use only 1 package of
pastry, then 1/2 her recipe, except for pastry.

This was delish! After reading the reviews and having a lack of items in fridge, I made some changes but it was delish. I flavored the chicken much like I do for chicken taco's, I added, onion to my chicken, and cooked it with a bit of taco seasoning, and some chicken rub. I did not have any jalapenos or red bell pepper, so instead I added a can of rotell tomatoes to the chicken while it cooked, (half the juices drained Once all cooked and flavor right (tasted chicken before adding to cheese I mixed everything together, then layered into the small rounds of crust, brushed on some egg whites and sprinkled with a garlic herb seasoning from mcormicks special blends. This is will be a keeper the family loved it, there was none left, and I used three pie crust. It does give you a large amount of filling, I froze what I had left. :0

Absolutely amazing! I made this for my boyfriend's family and they loved it. Seeing how many people said that it was dried, I added salsa to it so I did not have that problem. I also used the Pillsbury pie crust! I also topped it with lettuce, tomato, crumbled mexican cheese, and salsa verde! Thanks Paula for this recipe. I have been craving empanadas for awhile now and this just fulfilled it!

I saw Paula and I knew cream cheese would be involved in this empanada recipe, and I was right!

This was plain boring!!! Not to mention dry and bland. The recipe calls for all these tasty wonderful ingredients and once you eat it you taste nothing at all, except the pie crust. I enjoy my food spicy and flavorful. The next time I attempt to make these I'm adding taco seasoning mix, more cream cheese and chopped red onions. I'll probably make a dipping sauce to go with it too. Also the recipe makes a lot of filling; you'll need a second package of pie crusts to use it all up.

I love the flavors, I didn't have chicken so I made them with ground beef, I just cooked the ground beef with the red bell pepper and add some spices, and when it was done I added the rest of the ingredients, I also made my own pie crust. Everybody love them!

We had an empanada making contest at work and one of the girls made this recipe and they were delicious! I will be making them. Does anyone know if they would freeze well?
