### Easy Chicken Pot Stickers
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 package round pot sticker wrappers (about 40 pieces)
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1/2 cup water
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cabbage, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Take a pot sticker wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the pot sticker, creating pleats along the edge if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pot stickers to the skillet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
4. Carefully pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium. Let the pot stickers simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until the water has evaporated, and the chicken is cooked through.
5. Remove the lid and let the pot stickers cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
6. Using a spatula, carefully transfer the pot stickers to a serving plate. Serve hot with soy sauce, chili sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
