Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped green onions
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ cups chopped cooked chicken
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
12 empanada pastry discs
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

  • Transfer empanadas to the prepared baking sheets. Brush with beaten egg.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes.
