Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375'F.
  2. If you are making the pizza dough yourself this is probably a good time to do it. You can prepare the rest of the ingredients while the dough is rising.
  3. FOR THE FILLING:.
  4. In your food processor, chop up the garlic, red pepper, onion, Anaheim and jalapeño chilies. Do not over process, aim for medium size pieces. Set aside in a small bowl.
  5. Chop up the chicken breasts and combine them with the soyrizo in the bowl of your food processor.
  6. Pulse until you have a nice ground mixture. Saute in a skillet until the pink is gone from the chicken. When done turn off the heat and set aside.
  7. In a large saucepan, combine the chicken soup broth and arrowroot flour. Whisk over med. high heat until it bubbles. Add the soy cream cheese and shredded Jack cheese and black pepper. Let this get good and thick.
  8. Pour over the chicken/soyrizo mixture and mix well, then add the veggie/chili mixture and combine until all is incorporated.
  9. FOR THE EMPANADAS:.
  10. Make 12 balls from the pizza dough and roll each one to approximately 4 inches around. Put some filling on each one and fold the edges together securely. You don't want them to leak. Brush with the soy creamer.
  11. Put on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for about 22-25 minutes. The outside should be golden brown.
  12. Serve warm or hot with a little salsa or vegan sour cream on the side.
  13. Bon Apetit!
