Chicken Salad Empanadas

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1/4 cup celery
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp. table salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 refrigerated jumbo biscuits

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Stir together chicken, mayonnaise, pecans, celery, lemon juice, salt and black pepper.

3. Roll biscuits into 6-inch circles. Place about a 1/4 cup chicken mixture in center of each circle; fold dough over mixture. Press edges with a fork or crimp to seal. Cut slits in tops of pies to allow steam to escape, if desired. Place pies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
