Frango Empadinhas (Chicken Pie)

Frango empadinhas are popular Brazilian savory mini-pies, featuring a melt-in-your-mouth, buttery, flaky crust encasing a rich, creamy filling of seasoned shredded chicken, often mixed with tomatoes, olives, onions, and creamy requeijão (Brazilian cream cheese). They're small, handheld, and perfect as a snack or appetizer, known for their tender, flavorful interior contrasting with the crumbly exterior.
