Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 4 pieces green onions
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 12 pieces collard green leaves
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves and ginger.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the coconut aminos, fish sauce, and sesame oil to the mixture.
Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Carefully cut the thick stem out of each collard green leaf to create two large halves suitable for wrapping.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture at one end of each collard green half.
Tightly roll the leaf around the mixture, starting at the edge with the chicken, until fully wrapped. Secure the end by tucking it under or using a toothpick.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the wrapped chicken wontons seam-side down in the skillet.
Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until the chicken is completely cooked through and the collard greens are tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the chicken wontons warm and enjoy your Whole30 compliant meal.
