Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken breast
• 1 cup green cabbage
• 1 medium carrot
• 4 stalks green onion
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 40 pieces whole wheat wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green cabbage and grate the carrot. Thinly slice the green onions and grate the ginger.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken breast, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, sliced green onions, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Using your fingertip, lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add potstickers in batches, ensuring they do not touch.

Step 6

Cook the potstickers for 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 7

Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the potstickers for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining potstickers, adding more olive oil as needed.

Step 10

Serve the potstickers warm with extra low-sodium soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
