Cheesy Chicken Empanadas

3 cups cooked chicken (finely chopped)
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1 jalapeno, diced & seeded
1 tablespoon cumin
salt
fresh ground pepper
1 rolled refrigerated pie crust (boxed dough)
1 egg

Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix all ingredients (except the dough and egg) in a large bowl using rubber spatula. Roll out the pie crust dough and cut circles, about 5 inches in diameter.Spoon filling into the middle of the dough circles. Wet your finger and run it along the edge of the circle(this helps it stick shut) - fold circle in half and pierce the edges with a fork that has been dipped in flour (to prevent sticking to the dough).Beat the egg and brush over the empanadas.Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
This should make about 8 empanadas
