Filipino Chicken Empanadas are savory, handheld pastries filled with a mixture of shredded chicken, diced potatoes, carrots, green peas, and onions, all seasoned with flavorful spices. Wrapped in a flaky, golden-brown crust, these empanadas are inspired by Spanish cuisine and have become a beloved Filipino snack or appetizer. While rich in protein from the chicken and packed with vitamins from the vegetables, they are often fried or baked, making the preparation method a consideration for overall health. The buttery pastry provides carbohydrates but also contributes to higher fat content, making moderation key for those watching their calorie intake. A balance of nutrients makes this dish both satisfying and hearty, with the option to bake for a lighter version.
