Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, mix 2 cups shredded chicken, 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1 teaspoon cumin until well combined.
Step 2
Roll out 1 package empanada dough on a floured surface. Cut into 6-inch circles using a cutter or bowl.
Step 3
Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each circle. Fold over and press edges with a fork to seal.
Step 4
Place empanadas on a baking sheet. Brush tops with oil or beaten egg if desired. Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Serve warm with remaining 1/2 cup salsa and extra cilantro for garnish.
