Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, diced red bell pepper, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling into a triangle and press the edges to seal.
Repeat this process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Arrange the wontons on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the wontons with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a low sodium dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.
