Chicken Mini-Empanadas
Prep Time: 20 minutes. Start to Finish: 40 minutes. Serves 6
Ingredients:
1 package (11-ounce) pie dough mix
1 9.75 oz can white chicken meat, drained
1 cup thick and chunky salsa
1 3 oz can sliced ripe olives
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
All purpose flour, for dusting
Directions:
Prepare pie dough according to package directions for double crust pie, wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine chicken, salsa and olives.
Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes; remove from heat and stir in cheese, cool slightly.
On a flour-dusted surface, roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 18 circles, rerolling scraps as needed.

Moisten edges with water, fold circles in half and pinch to seal. Pinch tops with fork.
