Looking for a delicious appetizer that will impress your guests? Look no further than these mouth-watering Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Empanadas! This dish is perfect for any occasion, from game day parties to family dinners.
To make these empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 packages refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, green onions, celery, red onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Next, roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough. Spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture onto each circle, then fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the empanadas.
Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the empanadas, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown and crispy.
When they are finished, remove the empanadas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These empanadas are best served warm, with extra blue cheese dressing and buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious and impressive appetizer that your guests will love. These Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese Empanadas are the perfect combination of spicy and savory, with a crispy crust and a creamy filling. Try them today and see for yourself!
