Instructions

1
Place a portion of ground chicken between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and flatten it into a thin, even circle.
2
In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, and cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
3
Spread the cheese mixture over one half of the flattened ground chicken.
4
Using the parchment paper to help, fold the other half of the chicken over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal.
5
Coat the entire outside of the chicken empanada with grated parmesan cheese.
6
Place the empanada on a liner in an air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the outside is golden brown and crispy.
