Lightened-Up Chicken and Herb Dumplings
Enjoy a wholesome twist on traditional dumplings—tender shredded chicken mixed with fresh herbs and a hint of garlic, gently folded into whole wheat dumpling wrappers. Steamed to perfection in a light chicken broth and finished with a quick pan-sear in olive oil, this dish offers a comforting yet clean eating experience that’s perfectly balanced in flavor and nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
3 Whole Wheat Dumpling Wrappers
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/4 cup Fresh Chives, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Finely chop the parsley, chives, and garlic. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken (pre-cooked or lightly poached), egg white, and the chopped herbs and garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Place a spoonful of the chicken and herb mixture in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with a little water, fold, and crimp to seal the dumplings.
Heat the chicken broth in a deep skillet or steamer until simmering. Place the dumplings in the broth and steam for approximately 8-10 minutes until the wrappers become tender and the filling is heated through.
In a separate non-stick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Carefully transfer the steamed dumplings into the pan to lightly pan-sear for an additional 1-2 minutes per side, adding a gentle crisp to the wrappers.
Serve immediately, enjoying the light yet flavorful dumplings as a healthy choice any time of the day.
