Chicken Empanada Recipe

Chicken Empanada Recipe

Little introduction what Empanada all about.
 Empanadas are made by folding dough or bread around stuffing, which usually consists of a variety of meat, cheese, huitlacoche, vegetables or fruits, among others.

 Filipino empanadas usually contain ground beef, pork or chicken, potatoes, chopped onions, and raisins (somewhat similar to the Cuban picadillo) in a somewhat sweet, wheat flour bread. There are two kinds available: the baked sort and the flaky fried type. ( source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empanada )

I never made Chicken Empanada before, I just felt that its so hard to make and the process takes forever! but I love this dish!. So, when my friend Cherry came over one time, we decided to make this all time favorite filipino empanada. Guess what? It's easier than I thought..
