Ingredients

For the dumplings:

  • 1 lb. lean ground chicken
  • 3 green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Splash of reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 12 wonton wrappers

For the sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Shape the mixture into 12 evenly sized meatballs. Place them in the skillet, spacing them slightly apart.
  • Lay one wonton wrapper over each meatball. Lightly press so it rests on top of the chicken.
  • Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the pan (around the meatballs, not over the tops).
  • Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. and the wrappers are soft and tender.
  • While the dumplings cook, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  • Drizzle sauce over the dumplings or serve on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
