Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use a round cutter or cup to cut out circles of dough (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle, being careful not to overfill.
Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure a good seal.
Step 4: Bake the Empanadas
Place the assembled empanadas on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
Once baked, remove the empanadas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
