Chicken Chili Verde Empanadas

Ingredients:

• 12 Pillsbury Frozen Pie Dough Rounds (#1800)
• 1 large egg
• 2 Tbsp water

*Filling:

• 3 cups Seasoned Diced Chicken (#7787)
• 1 cup green chilies, diced
• 1 cup salsa verde
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

Instructions:

1. Thaw the pie dough until flexible, uncovered, at room temperature or refrigerate overnight.
2. Next, whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Then, mix together the chicken, chilies, salsa, and cheese in a bowl.
4. Scoop about 3 oz. of the mixture onto the middle of each dough round.
5. Now, brush the edges of the dough with the egg mixture and fold the dough in half over the filling. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal.
6. Place on a parchment (#1153) lined cookie sheet (#4020) and bake at 400F for 17-19 minutes, or until flaky. Serve warm.
