Preparation steps

1.
Preheat oven to 400º F / 200º C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken and next 9 ingredients.
3.
Unroll each pie crust onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 15-inch / 38 cm circle. Cut out rounds, using a 3-inch cookie cutter. Use all the dough by re-rolling the dough scraps, making 12 to 15 circles total.
4.
Working with 1 round at a time, lightly brush the edges of the crust with water. Place 1 heaping spoonful of chicken mixture in the center of the round. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining rounds and chicken mixture. ]
5.
Arrange empanadas on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
