Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, grated carrot, salt, and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
In another bowl, prepare the dumpling dough by combining almond flour and tapioca flour.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg. Gradually incorporate the egg into the flour using a fork.
Step 4
Slowly add water to form a dough. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms, then divide it into small balls.
Step 5
Flatten each dough ball into a small disk using your palms, making sure it's thin enough to cook through.
Step 6
Place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center of each dough disk. Fold the disk in half over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal.
Step 7
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Add the dumplings to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 9
Serve the dumplings warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
