In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, half of the chopped green onions, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Lay out won ton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half to form a triangle, and seal the edges completely. Ensure there are no air bubbles.
Bring the low sodium chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Carefully add the filled won tons to the broth. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the won tons float to the surface and the chicken is cooked through.
Add the bok choy, julienned carrot, and water chestnuts to the pot. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in rice vinegar. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
Ladle soup into bowls, and garnish with the remaining chopped green onions. Serve hot.
