About Chicken potstickers

Chicken potstickers are a type of Chinese cuisine, often served as an appetizer or dim sum dish. These are pan-fried dumplings filled with a mixture of ground chicken, spices, and vegetables like cabbage or scallions, wrapped in a thin dough skin. Chicken potstickers are a moderately healthy option, as they provide protein from the chicken, vitamins, and fiber from the vegetable filling. On average, one medium potsticker contains about 50-80 calories, 2-3 grams of protein, and minimal fat if steamed, though pan-frying can increase fat content. Seasonings and soy sauce may add sodium, so moderation is advised. They are a flavorful dish enjoyed worldwide, reflecting the adaptability and richness of Chinese culinary traditions.

Health Benefits

• Good source of protein (about 2-3 grams per dumpling), essential for muscle repair and immune function.
• Provides vitamin C from vegetables like cabbage, which supports immune health and collagen production.
• Low in saturated fat when steamed, making it a better choice for heart health compared to fried foods.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, soy, eggs

Suitable for: High-protein diets, non-restrictive diets

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegan diets, low-sodium diets (depending on seasoning)

Selection and Storage

Store uncooked potstickers in the freezer to retain freshness; cook them directly from frozen. Leftover cooked potstickers should be refrigerated in an airtight container and consumed within 2-3 days.

Common Questions About Chicken potstickers Nutrition

How much protein and calories are in chicken potstickers?

Chicken potstickers typically contain around 5-6 grams of protein and 70-80 calories per piece, depending on the recipe or brand. They also contain small amounts of carbohydrates and fats, as well as iron from the chicken filling.

Are chicken potstickers compatible with a keto diet?

Chicken potstickers are generally not compatible with a keto diet due to their dough wrapper, which is high in carbohydrates. A single potsticker may contain 8-10 grams of carbs, making it challenging to include in a strict keto diet unless you opt for low-carb or almond flour-based alternatives.

Are chicken potstickers healthy?

Chicken potstickers can be a healthy choice in moderation as they provide protein and essential nutrients like iron. However, they are often high in sodium (up to 350 mg per piece) and may contain oils or fats from frying, making them less suitable for individuals watching their salt or fat intake.

What is the recommended serving size for chicken potstickers?

A typical serving size is 4-6 potstickers, providing roughly 300-500 calories depending on how they are cooked (steamed, pan-fried, or deep-fried). Pair them with a side of vegetables or a light salad to balance your meal.

How do chicken potstickers compare to vegetable potstickers?

Chicken potstickers have higher protein content, typically 5-6 grams per piece, compared to vegetable potstickers which contain around 2-3 grams of protein. However, vegetable potstickers are lower in calories and fat, making them a better option for those seeking a lighter meal or a vegetarian alternative.
