1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese

1/2 cup chicken broth

1
In a bowl, mix chicken with Swiss cheese, red pepper, onion and pepper.

Gently place empanadas, slightly apart, on a greased 12 by 15-inch baking sheet; in a small bowl, beat egg to blend; brush generously over each pastry.

Bake in a 375u00b0 oven until richly browned, about 22 to 25 minutes; transfer to a rack and let cool at least 10 minutes.
