INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
2 Egg Whites
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Fresh Herb Mix (Parsley, Chives, Dill)
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by poaching or lightly cooking the chicken breast until done, then shred it finely with a fork. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper along with the fresh herb mix.
In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, egg whites, olive oil, and a splash of water if necessary to form a smooth, pliable dough. Adjust the consistency so it isn’t too sticky.
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each piece into thin circles to create dumpling wrappers.
Place a spoonful of the shredded chicken and herb mixture onto each wrapper. Carefully fold the wrapper over the filling and crimp the edges, forming dumplings.
Heat the low-sodium vegetable broth in a steamer or a deep pan. Place the dumplings in a steamer basket ensuring they do not touch to prevent sticking.
Steam the dumplings over medium heat for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the dumpling wrappers become tender and the filling is heated through.
Serve the dumplings hot, optionally drizzled with a tiny bit more olive oil or a sprinkle of additional fresh herbs for garnish.
