These baked chicken empanadas are quick and easy to make. And for even easier prep, I used diced rotisserie chicken and jarred salsa for this recipe.

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

12 empanada pastry discs (such as Goya empanada dough discs)
1 cup diced cooked chicken
½ (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
¼ cup medium salsa (such as Pace)
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 ½ tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine chicken, Neufchatel cheese, and salsa in a saucepan over medium heat until cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and stir until well combined.
Drop 1 tablespoon chicken filling onto each empanada disc; fold dough over filling to enclose. Wet fingers with water; run along dough edges to help seal. Press edges together using the tines of a fork. Place empanadas on the prepared baking sheet; brush with heavy cream.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
