Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup avocado, mashed
- 1/4 cup chipotle ranch dressing
- 1 package potsticker wrappers
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mashed avocado, and chipotle ranch dressing. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare a clean work surface by dusting lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Lay out potsticker wrappers in a single layer.
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of chicken-avocado mixture in the center of each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill to ensure proper sealing.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper diagonally to create a triangle, pressing edges firmly to seal and remove any air pockets.
- Create additional pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional potsticker shape, ensuring a tight closure.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and arrange potstickers in a single layer.
- Cook potstickers for 2-3 minutes until bottom becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet, cover immediately, and steam for 3-4 minutes until wrappers become translucent and chicken is heated through.
- For the cilantro lime dip, whisk together remaining cilantro, fresh lime juice, and additional chipotle ranch dressing in a small bowl.
- Remove potstickers from skillet, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, and serve immediately with cilantro lime dip.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the chicken-avocado mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just assemble the potstickers when you're ready to cook!
- Don’t Overfill: When filling the potsticker wrappers, remember that less is more. Overfilling can make it difficult to seal them properly, leading to a messy cooking process.
- Seal with Care: Make sure to press the edges of the wrappers firmly to seal them completely. This will prevent any filling from leaking out while cooking.
- Perfectly Crispy: For the crispiest bottom, ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the potstickers. A good sizzle when they hit the pan is key!
- Experiment with Fillings: Feel free to get creative! You can substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu, or add veggies like bell peppers or corn to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve Immediately: Potstickers are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet. Serve them hot with your cilantro lime dip for the ultimate flavor experience.
