About Chicken potsticker

Chicken potstickers are a popular dish originating from Chinese cuisine, though they are now enjoyed globally. These dumplings are typically filled with a mixture of ground chicken, vegetables, and seasonings, then pan-fried to create a crispy exterior before steaming to ensure the filling is cooked. They are a source of protein due to the chicken filling and often contain nutrient-rich vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and green onions. One serving (about 4 potstickers) provides approximately 200-250 calories, 8-10g of protein, 10-12g of fat, and 20-25g of carbohydrates, making it a balanced food option when enjoyed in moderation.

Common Questions About Chicken potsticker Nutrition

How much protein and calories are in chicken potstickers?

Chicken potstickers typically contain around 6-8g of protein and approximately 100-130 calories per potsticker, depending on the size and brand. They also provide small amounts of iron and potassium, but are often high in sodium, with 300-400mg per serving being common.

Are chicken potstickers compatible with keto or low-carb diets?

Chicken potstickers are not ideal for keto or strict low-carb diets because the wrapper is typically made from flour, which is high in carbohydrates. One potsticker can contain 15-25g of carbs, making it hard to fit within keto guidelines unless you find low-carb alternatives or make them with almond or coconut flour.

Are there any health concerns with eating chicken potstickers regularly?

Chicken potstickers can be high in sodium, with one serving often exceeding 20-25% of daily recommended sodium intake, which may be a concern for those watching their salt consumption. They are also typically fried or pan-seared, which can increase saturated fat content, so moderation is advised.

How many chicken potstickers should I eat per serving?

A standard serving is usually 3-5 potstickers, depending on their size, which amounts to 300-400 calories. This portion size provides a balance of protein and carbs while still being mindful of overall caloric intake, especially if paired with vegetables or a light dipping sauce.

How do chicken potstickers compare to vegetable potstickers in nutrition?

Chicken potstickers typically have more protein (around 6-8g per potsticker) compared to vegetable potstickers (around 2-4g). However, vegetable potstickers are often lower in calories and fat, making them a lighter option. Both types can be high in carbohydrates and sodium.
