Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken breast
- 1 cup green cabbage
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 40 pieces whole wheat wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Finely chop the green cabbage and grate the carrot. Thinly slice the green onions and grate the ginger.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken breast, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, sliced green onions, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
Using your fingertip, lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add potstickers in batches, ensuring they do not touch.
Cook the potstickers for 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the potstickers for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Repeat with the remaining potstickers, adding more olive oil as needed.
Serve the potstickers warm with extra low-sodium soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
