In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove from water and shred the chicken using two forks.

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet along with cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cilantro. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Combine Ingredients

Roll out empanada dough (store-bought or homemade) into circles. Place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each circle, fold over, and seal the edges with a fork.

Assemble Empanadas

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
