Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Spinach leaves
- 100 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 24 Whole wheat dumpling wrappers
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the spinach leaves and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the bowl.
Stir in the ground chicken, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
Lay out the whole wheat dumpling wrappers on a clean work surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper, then fold in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no gaps.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the potstickers in the skillet, seam-side up. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Once browned, carefully add 0.5 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potstickers steam for about 6-8 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and allow the potstickers to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again.
Serve the potstickers hot with a side of Greek yogurt mixed with a dash of lemon juice and dill if desired.
