My favourite chicken empanada is the one from the Asian restaurant here in my area. Yup, chicken empanada with extenders and all that; I can always imagine eating that soft empanada crust with a ground chicken filling or mashed potatoes with chicken seasoning. Whatever, it’s still the best empanada for me, though.

Today, I decided to make my empanada recipe as my way of being thankful that I’m no longer feeling under the weather. I was sick since Sunday evening, and now that I’ve recovered, I’m back to business. But, of course, by business, I meant cooking.

  •  
    ½ cup green peas - thawed
  • Raisins in closeup¼ cup raisins
  • bowl of fresh chicken broth1 cup chicken stock (chicken broth or chicken bouillon)
  •  
    ½ teaspoon pepper
  • bowl of brown sugar1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • wooden bowl of salt1 teaspoon salt
  • Chicken mince450 grams ground chicken (minced chicken) - breast

Instructions
 

Crust Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients together, i.e., flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix using a fork.
  • Cut the cold butter and shortening until the mixture is like butter-covered breadcrumbs. Slowly add in the iced water as you mix by hand. Mould the dough into a ball and put it inside a plastic bag or Ziploc. Don’t forget to dust your plastic with loose flour.
  • Store the dough inside the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Instructions

  • In a pan, heat oil and butter, then saute the onions and garlic.
  • Next, add the chicken and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Drop in your potatoes and carrots and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour in your chicken broth and follow-through by dunking in your green peas and raisins. Simmer for another 3 minutes. Add pepper and salt to taste. If you like your filling a little sweet, add in sugar. Cook for another 2 minutes, and you’re done.
  • Strain the sauce from the filling as you set it aside to cool.

Assembling Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare a mixture of 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water. We’ll use this to brush over the empanadas later.
  • Take out your dough, and using a rolling pin, roll the dough into 3-millimetre or 1/8-inch thick. Don’t make it too thin else; the crust will break when baked.
  • Using a cookie cutter, cut circles from the dough. You can use anything around at least 10-centimetre or 4 inches in diameter. This will be your crust.
  • Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling and place at the centre of the crust. Fold the crust so that the edges meet and seal using a fork.
  • Lay down on a greased baking sheet and brush the top of your empanadas with the egg/water wash.
  • With a knife, make 2 to 3 slits at the top to let the steam pass through while baking.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
