Easy Buffalo Chicken Empanadas
Print recipe
These Easy Buffalo Chicken Empanadas have a cheesy, creamy, spicy filling inside a warm buttery crust. Get dinner on the table in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (about 2 cups) (Cooked and shredded or chopped)
- 1 stalk celery (chopped)
- 1/2 yellow pepper (chopped)
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt (to taste)
- 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/3 cup ranch dressing
- 1 can jumbo biscuits (I like Pillsbury Grands)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 375 In a large bowl stir together everything except the biscuits until well mixed. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Flatten each biscuit and fill the center with a spoonful of chicken mixture. Fold biscuit in half over the chicken and press edges with a fork to keep it closed. (You may have some chicken left over - use a tortilla to make a wrap for lunch the next day!) | |
| Step 3 | |
| Bake empanadas on a cookie sheet for 12 minutes. Drizzle with ranch if desired. Serve warm. | |

Chicken breasts can vary greatly in size. How much total weight/”cups of” do you think should be used.
