Ingredients

• 300 g Ground chicken
• 100 g Spinach, finely chopped
• 50 g Feta cheese, crumbled
• 50 g Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
• 30 g Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, spinach, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Take one wonton wrapper and place it on a flat surface. Place a teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water, then fold it in half to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal tightly, ensuring there are no air bubbles.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange half of the gyozas in the skillet, making sure they are not touching each other.

Step 6

Cook the gyozas for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 7

Add 1/8 cup of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the gyozas steam for about 5 minutes until the water has evaporated and the filling is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the lid and allow the gyozas to cook for another minute to crispen the bottom.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining gyozas, using the additional tablespoon of olive oil and 1/8 cup of water.

Step 10

Serve the gyozas hot with your choice of dipping sauces, like tzatziki or a tangy lemon-olive oil dressing.
