Ingredients

• 300 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
• 500 ml chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 pieces green onions
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 24 pieces dumpling wrappers
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Finely mince the boneless, skinless chicken breast and place it into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Grate the ginger and finely chop the garlic cloves. Add these to the chicken mixture along with sliced green onions.

Step 3

Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 5

Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the simmering broth. Cook until the broth thickens and coats the back of a spoon, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Allow the thickened broth to cool slightly, then combine it with the chicken mixture. Mix well until fully integrated and the filling becomes cohesive.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the chicken filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water and carefully bring the edges up to the center, pleating as you go to form a pouch and seal the top.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer lined with parchment paper (poke some holes in it for steam circulation) and place the dumplings inside, ensuring they are not touching.

Step 9

Bring water to a boil in the bottom compartment of the steamer. Steam the dumplings for about 12-15 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Step 10

Serve the steamed dumplings hot, optionally with a side of low-sodium soy sauce or vinegar for dipping. Enjoy your low-fat chicken soup dumplings!
