I love Chinese food, but I don’t eat pork/ shellfish, so I don’t get to eat authentic Chinese food very often. That’s why I love these Homemade Ground Chicken and Cabbage Dumplings. They are my version of Chinese dumplings with ingredients that fit my lifestyle.

Ground chicken
I buy organic whole chickens so I end up with a lot of chicken breasts. One way I like to use them up is by making ground chicken out of them. I cube it into 1-inch pieces and add them to my Ninja food processor and pulse for 1 minute.
If you don’t have ground chicken you could also use ground turkey!
Shredded Cabbage
Cabbage has a lot of water in it. If we don’t release some of the water, it will make the dumplings watery and not crispy.
After the cabbage has been shredded - massage 1 teaspoon of salt into it for about a minute. Then let it sit over a strainer for 10 minutes to allow some of that water to drain off, then it’s ready to use!
How to Make Ground Chicken and Cabbage Dumplings
Start by mixing together in a large bowl, the ground chicken, the salted and strained shredded cabbage, green onion, minced garlic, and vegetable oil/ ghee.
Add 1tbsp of the meat mixture to the wonton wrappers. Add water to the corners of the wonton wrappers then fold into a triangle and seal thoroughly. Set aside and repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat two large cast-iron skillets on medium heat with 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil/ghee. Add the dumplings to the hot oil, then fry on both sides for 3 - 4 minutes until the wonton wrappers are golden brown. Set aside and repeat with remaining dumplings.
After all the dumplings are done, return them to the skillets and add ¼ cup of Homemade Chicken Broth to each pan and immediately cover with a lid. Allowing the dumplings to steam for 3 minutes.
Remove the lids and allow the chicken broth to evaporate and the dumplings to get crispy, 2 - 3 minutes.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
