Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet and add diced onion and green pepper. Saute until the vegetables start to soften and add 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic. Saute another minute and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, combine 3 cups finely diced rotisserie chicken, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce, and sauteed onions and peppers. Give it a taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

• Place the Empanada discos on parchment paper and brush edges of dough lightly with egg mixture. Place chicken filling in the center of each disco. Fold dough over the filling and press edges with a fork to seal. Continue making the empanadas until all the filling is used. I was able to make 12 discos with the filling. That will vary depending on how full you make them.

• Brush the empanadas with the remaining egg mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until slightly browned and crispy.
