INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 large Egg White
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh Chives (chopped)
1 Garlic clove (minced)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Finely dice the chicken breast or pulse it in a food processor until it reaches a slightly coarse texture.
In a bowl, combine the processed chicken with the egg white, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chives. Season with salt and pepper, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, place the whole wheat flour. Gradually add water (or a little water if needed) and mix until a smooth dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter or glass to cut circles approximately 3 inches in diameter.
Spoon a small amount of the chicken and herb filling into the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal the dumpling tightly.
Prepare a steamer: bring water to a boil in a pot and line the steamer basket with parchment paper perforated with holes.
Place the dumplings in the steamer basket without overlapping. Steam for about 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the dough is tender.
Serve warm, optionally with a light dipping sauce of your choice.
