Growing up I loved eating my moms chicken empanadas but because they were time consuming to make she would only make them during the holidays or on an occasional weekend. My mom would take a whole chicken, season it and bake it for an hour, sometimes even more depending on how many she’d be making. Up until a few months ago it was also how I made them but when I saw the Marketside Rotisserie Chicken at Walmart I immediatley knew that I could use it for the empanadas and eliminate the lengthier process of cooking a chicken and when I added the side of potato salad and a 2 liter Coca-Cola, I had a complete meal! You really can’t miss it, the signage at Walmart makes it easy for everyone to find what to make for dinner with little effort! Now, the empanada’s that were once saved for the holidays, can now be easily enjoyed on any night by adding the Walmart Rotisserie Chicken for only $4.98!
Below are step by step instructions on how to make the empanadas! It’s such a relief to know that on busy school nights, I can count on Walmart’s Rotisserie Chicken and of course a bottle of Coca-Cola to help me create an effortless meals that are convenient to purchase, help provide healthy, fresh options for dinner during back-to-school, and create a positive mealtime experience for me and my family!

I’ve never made empanadas before because they seemed so complicated, but this seriously looks like something that could do!
It looks super easy. My children would love it.
Oh my gosh I love these! I would love to start making them regularly with different spices each time.
I’ve never heard of frozen discs. I’m now thinking of all the things I can put inside of one and fry. I love how easy your empanadas come together.
Those sound awesome. Whenever we go out for Mexican food, we always get empanadas! NOM.
Wow – that looks pretty simple to do. Great idea! We’ll have to try it.
Wow, I used to eat those enchiladas in Brazil and I miss them so much! I never could find them in Australia. Now I have to give it a try. I think I’ll include corns and olives too 😉 Thank you for the easy recipe!
