 1 ¼ cups Almond Flour
 1 Large Eggwhisked
 2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken

Add mozzarella and cream cheese to a bowl. Put in the microwave for one minute, take out and stir. Put in the microwave for another minute, stir well. Add in almond flour and egg. Mix to combine well.

3

The dough will be a little wet but if it is too wet that you can't get it to stop sticking to your fingers, then add a little more almond flour. Roll the dough flat with a rolling pin or with a piece of plastic wrap on top and use a wine bottle.

Once you've rolled it flat, about ¼" thick, use a bowl to cut circle shapes. For excess dough, form into a ball then roll out again and repeat the process until all the dough has been used. Lay on a lightly greased cooking sheet or use a silicone baking mat.

Once you've made all the empanadas, cook at 425 degrees for 12 Minutes until starting to turn golden brown.
