Cook 3 chicken breasts in a pot with enough water for about 40 minutes, adding pieces of onion, garlic, bell pepper, celery, and cilantro.

Remove the chicken and let it cool, then shred it into strips.

In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of butter or margarine and sauté 1/2 small onion for about 2 minutes.

Add chopped bell pepper and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Add the shredded chicken, seasoning with oregano, parsley, paprika, pepper, cumin, and salt, and mix well.

Add 2 ladles of the chicken broth and sauté for about 3 minutes until well combined.

In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt, then mix well.

Add 1/4 cup of oil and gradually add warm water while kneading until the dough is smooth and not sticky.

Divide the dough into approximately 12 balls and let them rest covered for 30-40 minutes.

Roll out each ball into a tortilla shape, add a portion of the chicken filling, and fold over to seal the edges.

Heat enough oil in a deep pan to cover the pastelitos halfway and fry them over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
