Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground chicken breast
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, water chestnuts, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean, flat surface. Drop about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Using your finger or a small brush, dab the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little bit of water to help seal.
Fold the wrapper into a triangle or purse shape, ensuring you press the edges together firmly to seal the wonton completely.
Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Place the wontons on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wonton lightly with the beaten egg white to help them crisp while baking.
Lightly spray the wontons with non-stick cooking spray to further promote crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm and crispy!
