Cómo preparar Empanadas De Pollo Chicken Empanadas
- Place 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and 1 bouillon cube in a saucepan.
- Cover with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until chicken is tender enough to shred easily.
- While chicken simmers, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped.
- Sauté for 5 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent.
- Add 2 lbs of tomatoes, chopped, and cook for 10 minutes, or until mushy.
- Add 4 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute.
- Using a potato masher, roughly mash the tomatoes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano and salt to taste.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once cooled, shred the chicken and add it to the tomato mixture. Stir and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups fresh masa harina, 1/2 cup corn flour, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add 1-1 1/3 cups warm water, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt and knead for 2 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball into a 6-inch disc using a tortilla press or rolling pin.
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling onto one half of each disc.
- Fold the other half over the filling and crimp the edges to seal.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully fry the empanadas, a few at a time, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with your favorite salsa, chile de arbol, sour cream, and shredded lettuce. Enjoy!
