Chicken and Cilantro Potstickers

Chicken and Cilantro Pot Stickers

We had friends over for dinner recently and my girlfriend brought some frozen chicken and cilantro potstickers. My daughter loved them so much she kept asking my friend to make more. I decided to try my hand at making my own version of these potstickers and I am so glad I did. These babies took some time to make but they were worth every minute!   served these potstickers with homemade Potsticker Dipping Sauce and an Asian Noodle Salad. This meal was a big hit with the entire family and I know it will be a regular on our table from now on.

Boil the water and pour over the sliced cabbage to soften. Drain excess water from the cabbage and put it into a food processor. Add ground chicken, cilantro, green onions, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and fresh ginger. Pulse mixer until thoroughly combined.

Spread out the potsticker wraps and scoop a small teaspoon full of filling onto the center of each wrap. Wet the top of each potsticker wrap with a baster brush dipped in water.

Fold the potsticker to make a moon shape and pinch shut with 4 to 5 pleats along the side. Really make sure they are sealed, so the filling doesn’t fall out.

  1. I just purchased some chicken/cilantro pot stickers from a large retailer. It was my impulse purchase as they weren’t being sampled that day. Can’t wait to try those then try your recipe. Thanks!

  2. What wonderful pot stickers! Picture perfect ! A question … when I went to the dipping sauce recipe I saw a link in comments that took me (I thought back here), but no … it went to manage foods.com. Is this another of your sites or are your posts being nabbed and published elsewhere? Just wondering (and watchdogging a bit)…

    1. Susan,

      Yes, it’s a person stealing my photos, words, and recipes so their site can make money. Unfortunately, I deal with this way too often! Thank you so much for letting me know!

  3. Beautiful! Food can be such art, especially when so much love and time goes into preparing it. Brava!! Keep up the great work on your blog – I always enjoy reading it.

  4. Super delicious and fabulous combination pam. I have lots of these wraps frozen and waiting to be used and just loved this combination.
    Cheers,
    Lia.

    1. Nestra,

      I have never tried freezing my pot stickers but I am sure it would work just fine. If you do it, please let me know how they turn out.

      Cheers,
      Pam

    2. I freeze pot stickers all the time, they are good for 3-4 months, keep longer if vacuum wrapped

  5. OMG! These are devine! Pam – I always follow your blog (I’m in Ontario, Canada) and often take your “unusual” apps to my weekly girls-night, these were a HIT! Thanks for the inspiration!

  6. Pinned it! I can’t wait to try these, I just need to find round wrappers again. All of the places around here just like to sell the square ones which don’t look pretty like the round ones.

  7. This reminds me of argentinian “empanadas” if you like i can send the recipe to you! Love your site greetings from Cordoba, Argentina.

  8. Wondering where you get potsticker wraps I have never seen them anywhere, usually I make my own dough but these would make the process much faster if I want to make some up quickly

    1. Barb,

      You can find them in most grocery stores in the produce section next to the tofu. I hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Pam

  9. Do you pre-cook the ground chicken or does it cook in the skillet once inside the pot sticker? I am new to making these 🙂

    1. Tara,

      You don’t pre-cook the chicken. It cooks in the skillet once inside the pot sticker. Good luck & I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

  10. Made these tonight for the first time and they were a hit! The filling was slightly bland so next time I have to add salt or something. The dipping sauce also didn’t taste right so I had to buy some at my local Chinese restaurant. However, I will make them again! The whole family helped and we really, truly enjoyed them.

  11. when I look for the wraps, do I just ask for “pot sticker wraps”, or does it have another name? Thank you in advance for your reply.
