    I really enjoyed this recipe. I did have to change up a few things, though. used a whole 8oz pkg of cream cheese and two 15 oz boxes of the pie crusts. I will DEFINITELY make this recipe again -already bought the ingredients to do so - however, I am using two jalepeno's. :) Wonderful recipe! Thank you for posting it!

    Speedy Chicken Empanadas, This recipe I borrowed from Paula deen and tweaked it to make my own My whole family, even the picky 3 year old loves it!, I really enjoyed this recipe I did have to change up a few things, though used a whole 8oz pkg of cream cheese and two 15 oz boxes of the pie crusts I will DEFINITELY make this recipe again -already bought the ingredients to do so – however, I am using two jalepeno’s 🙂 Wonderful recipe! Thank you for posting it!, These were really good but more work than i originally thought The filling made more than i needed for the dough i had on hand, so used it with mini pita’s cut in half and baked for 15 minutes which was less time consuming
