Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground chicken breast
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, water chestnuts, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean, flat surface. Drop about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Step 4
Using your finger or a small brush, dab the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little bit of water to help seal.
Step 5
Fold the wrapper into a triangle or purse shape, ensuring you press the edges together firmly to seal the wonton completely.
Step 6
Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Step 7
Place the wontons on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wonton lightly with the beaten egg white to help them crisp while baking.
Step 8
Lightly spray the wontons with non-stick cooking spray to further promote crispiness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm and crispy!
