In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour blend and xanthan gum together.
Gradually add the boiling water while stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a rough dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
For the filling, finely chop the green onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In another bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the rested dough into quarters and work with one portion at a time, keeping the rest covered to prevent drying out.
Roll each portion into a long cylinder, then cut into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a circle using a rolling pin, about 1/8 inch thick.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the circle in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal, pleating gently if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Arrange gyozas in the skillet, pleated side up, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Carefully add ½ cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Steam for about 7-10 minutes until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Serve hot with additional gluten-free soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
