Apricot Chicken Wontons: A Quick & Easy Recipe

INGREDIENTS

2 cups plus 1 tablespoon water, divided 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces) 2 cups chopped finely shredded cabbage 1/2 cup apricot fruit spread 2 green onions with tops, finely chopped 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 30 (3-inch) wonton wrappers Prepared sweet-and-sour sauce (optional)

PREPARATION:

1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in medium saucepan. Add chicken. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Set aside chicken; drain saucepan.
2. Add cabbage and remaining 1 tablespoon water to saucepan. Cook over high heat 1 to 2 minutes or until water evaporates, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
3. Finely chop chicken. Add to saucepan along with preserves, green onions, soy sauce, ginger and pepper; mix well.
4. To assemble pot stickers, remove 3 wonton wrappers at a time from package. Spoon slightly rounded tablespoonful chicken mixture onto center of each wrapper; brush edges of wrapper with water. Bring 4 corners together; press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
5. Spray steamer with nonstick cooking spray. Assemble steamer so that water is 1/2 inch below steamer basket. Fill steamer basket with pot stickers, leaving enough space between them to prevent sticking. Cover; steam 5 minutes. Transfer pot stickers to serving plate. Serve with prepared sweet-and-sour sauce, if desired.
