Lightened-Up Chicken and Herb Dumplings
Savor these delicate, light dumplings featuring lean shredded chicken mingled with fresh herbs and a hint of aromatic garlic and ginger. The homemade whole wheat dumpling wrappers add a nutritious twist, making this dish a satisfying and balanced option for any meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
2 stalks Green Onion
PREPARATION
Begin by finely dicing the chicken breast and then shred it using a fork or your hands.
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, parsley, and cilantro. Season lightly with salt and pepper as desired.
In a separate bowl, prepare the dumpling dough by mixing the whole wheat flour with the egg white. Stir until a smooth dough forms; add a splash of water if needed. Knead the dough briefly and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into small portions (about 8-10 pieces) and roll each piece into a thin, circular wrapper.
Place a small spoonful of the chicken and herb filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper. Fold and seal the edges by pinching them together to form a dumpling shape.
Heat a non-stick pan and add the teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Lightly sauté the dumplings for 1-2 minutes on each side to achieve a subtle crisp edge.
Cover the pan with a lid and allow the dumplings to steam for an additional 6-8 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
Serve warm, and enjoy these light, protein-packed dumplings as a balanced meal any time of day.
