Chicken Empanadas

This is a very easy dish to make which would surely impress your friends and family.  Here are the ingredients.

INGREDIENTS:
(1) LB of lean ground chicken
(1) package store bought pie crust (or homemade)
garlic powder to taste
onion powder to taste
cocoa chili powder to taste (optional or use reg Chili powder)
(1) can of Chili
(1/4) cup salsa
(1/4) cup flour
(1/2) cup shred cheese

DIRECTIONS:
In a preheated pan, brown the chicken.  When the chicken is almost all browned, add in your spices.  Mix well.  Next, add the wet ingredients, the salsa and the Chili and mix well.  Add the flour.  The flour would thicken the sauce.  Mix well.  Set aside.  Take the pie crust out of the package.  Put one layer on the bottom of a pizza pan.  Pour the sauce mixture entirely ontop of the pie dough.  Sprinkle on the cheese.  Put the other layer of pie dough ontop of the meat sauce mixture.  Using a fork, press all around the edges so that it won't leak when it bakes.  Place in an oven at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until all golden brown.  I hope you will try this recipe and I'll see you again next time.
NOTE:  I made the Pie Crust in this recipe using the bread maker.
