Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 medium tomatillos (about 1 1/2 pounds), husked and rinsed
1 to 2 jalapenos, stemmed
1 Spanish onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves
1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
1 lime, juiced
Salt
2 cups finely shredded, cooked chicken, preferably dark meat
1 cup crumbled queso fresco

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil; add the tomatillos, jalapeno, onion, and garlic. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the tomatillos are soft. Drain and cool slightly. Combine the tomatillos, jalapeno, onion, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice in a blender. Add 1/4 cup of water and process to a coarse puree; season with a generous pinch of salt. You should have about 3 cups of this salsa verde. Combine the shredded chicken and queso fresco in a large mixing bowl. Pour in 1 1/2cups of the salsa verde and fold the ingredients together to moisten. Use as a filling for empanadas. Serve the remaining salsa verde on the side.

These are the best empanadas I've ever had! The dough is perfectly crispy and the filling is packed with flavor. I highly recommend this recipe.

These empanadas were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not a big fan of green chiles, but I really enjoyed these empanadas. The dough was flaky and the filling was flavorful without being too spicy.

The filling was flavorful, but the dough was a little too thick for my taste. I'll try making them again with a thinner dough next time.

The empanadas were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less green chiles next time.
