How to Proceed:

1º. Pour 4 table spoons of oil in a large size fry pan, and the the onion and the garlic that we have previously cut in small pieces.

4º Leave it in the pan for about 6 or 7 more minutes. In the meanwhile, take out the pastry sheets.

Clean the counter top which is going to be your working place, and pour some flour. Now, stir the sheets and flatten it with a rolling pin. We are going to make our empanadillas.

6º Now you start filling the empanadillas with the chicken and mushroom, don't put too much filling because it's going to be difficult to close it.

7º On top on the filling add some grated cheese.

8º Place the rest of the pastry on top of that ones in order to close them, Use a fork to push on the edges as showed in the picture below:
