Lightened-Up Chicken and Herb Dumplings
Enjoy these delicate chicken and herb dumplings that combine lean protein with fresh, aromatic herbs encased in a light whole wheat dough. Perfectly steamed and lightly dressed, this dish offers a balanced and satisfying meal that's both flavorful and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
30 g Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Chives, chopped
3 tbsp Water
PREPARATION
Finely dice or shred the chicken breast. If using raw chicken, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and lightly sauté in a nonstick pan with half of the olive oil until cooked through, then shred once cooled.
In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with water and the remaining olive oil to form a smooth, pliable dough. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface until thin (about 1/8 inch thick) and cut into small rounds or squares large enough to encase a spoonful of chicken filling.
Mix the shredded chicken with chopped fresh parsley and chives. Season with a little salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
Place a small spoonful of the chicken-herb mixture in the center of each dough piece, then fold over and pinch the edges to seal securely.
Steam the dumplings in a steamer basket set over boiling water for 8-10 minutes until the dough is tender and cooked through.
Serve warm and enjoy the light, refreshing flavors of your chicken and herb dumplings.
