Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Ground chicken
- 100 g Spinach, finely chopped
- 50 g Feta cheese, crumbled
- 50 g Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 30 g Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, spinach, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Take one wonton wrapper and place it on a flat surface. Place a teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water, then fold it in half to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal tightly, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange half of the gyozas in the skillet, making sure they are not touching each other.
Cook the gyozas for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/8 cup of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the gyozas steam for about 5 minutes until the water has evaporated and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and allow the gyozas to cook for another minute to crispen the bottom.
Repeat the process with the remaining gyozas, using the additional tablespoon of olive oil and 1/8 cup of water.
Serve the gyozas hot with your choice of dipping sauces, like tzatziki or a tangy lemon-olive oil dressing.
