In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, sliced green onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Prepare a clean, dry surface and arrange the gyoza wrappers. Have a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the edges of the wrappers.
Take one gyoza wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center.
Moisten the edge of the wrapper lightly with water using your fingertip.
Fold the wrapper in half to encase the filling, and press the edges together to seal, creating small pleats along the edge.
Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with an olive oil spray.
Arrange the gyoza in the pan, flat-side down, making sure they are not touching.
Let the gyoza cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the pan and cover immediately to create steam.
Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and allow the gyoza to cook for an additional 2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again.
Remove from the pan and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
