About Baked chicken empanada

Baked Chicken Empanadas are a delicious take on a classic dish rooted in Latin American and Spanish cuisine. These handheld pastries feature a flaky, golden-brown crust and are filled with a flavorful mixture of shredded chicken, onions, bell peppers, garlic, and a blend of spices. Unlike their fried counterpart, baked empanadas offer a lighter option with reduced fat content. Packed with lean protein from the chicken, they can be a satisfying and nutritious choice when enjoyed in moderation. The inclusion of fresh vegetables adds vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, making them a well-rounded option. However, the pastry crust contributes carbohydrates and fats, so calorie-conscious eaters may wish to pair these empanadas with a healthy side, like a fresh salad. Perfect as a snack or main dish, baked chicken empanadas bring a blend of wholesome ingredients and comforting flavors to the table.
