Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup cabbage, finely chopped
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil for cooking
Instructions
- 1. Microwave mozzarella and cream cheese together for 1-2 minutes until melted. Stir to combine.
- 2. Add almond flour to the melted cheese mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let cool slightly.
- 3. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, and white pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- 4. Roll dough between parchment paper to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 3-4 inch circles.
- 5. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold in half and seal edges, creating pleats if desired.
- 6. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place dumplings flat-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden.

- 8. Remove lid and cook until water evaporates and bottoms are crispy again, about 1-2 minutes.
- 9. Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
Notes
Store cooked dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze uncooked dumplings for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes to cooking time. These can also be steamed for 8-10 minutes or baked at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.
