In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, grated ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, garlic powder, and sea salt. Mix until evenly combined.
In another bowl, mix almond flour, arrowroot starch, and a pinch of salt. Add the eggs and 1 tablespoon of water, and knead into a dough. The dough should be pliable and not too sticky.
Lightly dust your working surface with arrowroot starch and roll the dough into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick.
Use a round cookie cutter (around 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles from the dough.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling mixture in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, crimping with a fork if necessary.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the pot stickers in batches, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then add a few tablespoons of water to the skillet, cover, and let them steam for another 4-5 minutes until the filling is cooked through.
Remove the cover and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the bottoms to crisp up again.
Repeat with remaining pot stickers, adding more coconut oil as needed. Serve hot with additional coconut aminos for dipping if desired.
