Chicken Potstickers

I don't know about you guys but I LOVE pot stickers. While the store bought ones can be delicious - I decided to make my own.

It is slightly time consuming but not terrible if you put on a movie or TV show.

When I come home from work, the last thing I want to do is spend 30 minutes making dinner. Pre-making almost 60 pot stickers makes dinner a breeze.

I can practically put the pot stickers on the stove to cook, change into my pajamas and come back and they are done. It is great!

Ingredients:
1 Pound of Ground Chicken
3 Ounce of Shiitake Mushrooms (At the grocery store I go to they sell them in a pack of six which is perfect)
2 Cloves of Garlic
2 Tablespoons of Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce (I use gluten free)
1 Tablespoon of Sesame Oil
1 Tablespoon of Freshly Grated Ginger
1 Teaspoon of Rice Wine Vinegar
1/4 Teaspoon of White Pepper
1 Package of Wonton Wrappers (mine had 40)
1 Cup of Cabbage (optional)

Cooking Instructions:
1. Start by cutting up the mushrooms and lettuce. Once I hand cut the mushrooms and the second time I put them in the food processor which was definitely faster.




2. Put the ground chicken into a bowl.



3. Combine the meat, mushrooms, and lettuce.



4. Make the marinade by adding garlic, white pepper, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, and soy sauce into a small bowl.



5. Put marinade into the bowl with the meat and vegetables.



6. Now it is time to assemble the pot stickers.

7. Get a small bowl and fill it with water - you will use it to seal the wonton wrappers.

8. Start by placing a spoonful of the meat and veggie mixture (slightly larger than a quarter) into the center of the wonton wrapper.



9. Dip your finger in the water and run it along the far edges of the wonton wrappers.



10. Then fold the wonton wrapper in half and squeeze the edges together.



11. To store pot stickers you are not eating. Place in the freezer. I portioned out the pot stickers to about 6-7 pot stickers per plastic baggie. That way they are portioned out and keeps them from sticking together.

12. To cook the potstickers, place in a fan on medium heat with some olive or avocado oil. They should cook for about 7-10 minutes.



13. Enjoy with some soy sauce!!!

YUMMY YUMMY!
