INGREDIENTS

Filling
- 🍗 1 cup diced cooked chicken
- 🧀 ½ (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
- 🍅 ¼ cup medium salsa (such as Pace)
- 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
Assembly
- 🥛 1 ½ tablespoons heavy cream

STEPS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine chicken, Neufchatel cheese, and salsa in a saucepan over medium heat until cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and stir until well combined.

Drop 1 tablespoon chicken filling onto each empanada disc; fold dough over filling to enclose. Wet fingers with water; run along dough edges to help seal. Press edges together using the tines of a fork. Place empanadas on the prepared baking sheet; brush with heavy cream.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
