Empanada Filling: Spicy Chicken (Dinners)

Canned Food Condiments Meat Produce Spices

Recipe:

½-1 lb. chicken (breast or thigh)
1 tbsp or less tomato paste (optional)
2-3 cloves fresh garlic
¼-½ sweet onion
Hot sauce (cheap; you'll use a lot)

1. Cook chicken until fully (or just about fully) cooked.  Baking is fine, pan-searing thighs works well, etc.
2. Pan fry onion until translucent or browning
3. Mince garlic and add to pan; cook until fragrant or lightly toasted
4. Add cooked chicken to pan along with ⅓+ cup water and small amount (¼ can or less) tomato paste
5. Add plenty of hot sauce (think ⅛-¼ cup; I usually use Frank's)
6. Add dry seasonings to taste:
* good amount of paprika
* small amount of adobo seasoning (remember: this is effectively salt)
* small/mid amount of chili pepper
* small/mid amount of cayenne (optional)
* small amount of oregano (optional)
7. Stir under med/low heat to allow tomato paste to melt into the water
8. Reduce until desired texture
