To make these delicious empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup of tomato sauce
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface and cut them into circles using a biscuit cutter or a large glass. In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, parmesan cheese, and tomato sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
