About Small baked chicken empanada

A small baked chicken empanada is a savory pastry inspired by traditional Latin American cuisine. It features a golden, flaky crust filled with seasoned shredded chicken, onions, peppers, and spices, often including garlic, cumin, and oregano for robust flavor. Baked instead of fried, this version is a lighter alternative that reduces fat content while maintaining its rich taste. Packed with lean protein from the chicken and nutrients from the vegetable ingredients, it provides essential energy and supports muscle health. However, the buttery dough contributes to its calorie count and contains saturated fats, which should be moderated in a balanced diet. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, this empanada offers a wholesome option with a satisfying blend of textures and flavors that represent a comforting taste of Latin culinary tradition.
