Filling
Method
Preparation
Cook the Filling
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, sauté until soft. Add the marinated chicken and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, about 15-20 minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks and mix everything well. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Prepare the Empanadillas
Roll out empanada dough into circles. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle. Fold over and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
Cook the Empanadillas
You can either deep-fry the empanadillas in hot oil until golden brown or bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden.
