Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 3 green onions (finely sliced)
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp chili oil crunch
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 package wonton wrappers
• 1 tbsp avocado oil (1-2 tbsp)
• 0.5 cup water (for steaming)
• 3 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp chili oil crunch (1-2 tsp)
• 0.5 tsp sesame oil
• green onions (for topping)
• sesame seeds (for topping)
• chili crisp (for topping)
• fresh cilantro (for topping)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sliced green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon chili oil crunch, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Heat 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Scoop the chicken filling into the skillet in small mounds (about the size of a dumpling) and flatten them slightly.

4. 4

   Place one wonton wrapper directly on top of each mound of chicken filling.

5. 5

   Carefully pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet (avoiding pouring directly onto the wrappers) and immediately cover with a lid.

6. 6

   Steam for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the wonton wrappers are translucent and tender.

7. 7

   While the dumplings steam, prepare the Quick Chili Soy Drizzle by whisking together 3 tablespoons coconut aminos, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1-2 teaspoons chili oil crunch, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil in a small bowl.

8. 8

   Remove the lid from the skillet and pour the prepared sauce directly over the dumplings.

9. 9

   Garnish with additional green onions, sesame seeds, chili crisp, and fresh cilantro before serving.
