I saw the episode of Paula's show where she made these empanadas and was inspired! They were so easy to make and my kids LOVED them. They helped me cut out the round dough from the pie crusts. This is a huge hit and would be a fast and easy WOW for party appetizers. Thanks so much, Paula! Emily

This wasn't too bad, though harder to make. Definitely a weekend meal unless you prepare ahead. After reading other comments I will try tweaking a little next time, but the base idea is really good. Hubby & teenage son loved them just the way they were, and want them once a week!

I really like this recipe a lot even if it is just a snack and plus I put the left over filling on crackers and it was still really good!
LOVE YOU PAULA! <3

They were just okay. Next time, we will try refried beans inside instead of cream cheese, but will still try again.

We loved these pockets for a Saturday brunch. We'll definately have these again especially when we entertain. Another great recipe, Paula!

I made these using the Empanada Dough recipe from epicurious.com, Gourmet / October 2004 and they came out perfectly. My family really enjoyed them served with Guy's Big Bite Chipotle sauce from his recipe for Roasted Corn Quesadillas which I doctored up with about 3 ounces of light cream cheese. YUMMY

As a former jeweler, I have seen lots of stuff in diamond rings, not to mention what the rings leave in the food. Please, Paula don't wear your rings when baking, gross!

These were so tasty my husband and I couldn't stop eating them! I halved the recipe and it still made 16 empanadas, some of which I cooked right away, and others I cooked a few days later. They also held up well to microwaving-reheating for lunches at work.
Make sure you use cooked chicken. Enjoy!

I'll probably not make these again. The dough was terrible to work with, when I rolled it out like she said, it became too thin and kept breaking and splitting. Now I'm pretty good with working with dough as I make homemade pierogi's every Christmas, but this dough just wasn't workable...I ended up using the whole pie crust on the last 2 and made "mega Empanadas"...LOL....I think using it as a filling for a Quesadilla as someone said earlier would be better.
I also added an 8 oz cream cheese and it was still dry. And went through 3 pie crusts.
