Finely chop the green cabbage and green onions. Peel and mince the ginger root and garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken breast, cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients until well combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Using your finger, moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, or to create a pleated edge if desired. Press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Add dumplings to the pan without overcrowding (cook in batches if necessary) and fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Once the bottoms are browned, add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid to steam the dumplings. Allow them to steam for about 4-5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and let any remaining moisture completely dissipate, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve dumplings warm, with additional soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce, if desired.
