1 cup Apricot Preserves
1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce
1/2 cup Sugar-Free Ketchup

Chicken Wontons

1 pound Ground Chicken
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
2 Scallions, minced
1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 Shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
1 package of Wonton Wrappers
1/4 cup Water
4 cups of Oil for frying

Instructions

Apricot Sauce

To a medium bowl, add the apricot preserves, mustard, teriyaki sauce, and sugar-free ketchup. Whisk until the sauce is smooth. Pour the apricot sauce into a small serving dish.

Chicken Wontons

To a large bowl, add the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, scallions, soy sauce, garlic, shallot, sesame seed oil, and cornstarch. Mix to combine.

Arrange a wonton wrapper on your countertop and add 1 teaspoon of the ground chicken mixture to the center of the wonton.

Using a brush, brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water. Bring the middle of each of the four edges together and press the middle to seal the wonton. You should have a chicken wonton that looks like a Rangoon. You can also fold the wonton wrapper diagonally to create a triangular chicken wonton.

Continue filling and wrapping the wonton wrappers until all the chicken filling is gone.

To Fry The Chicken Wontons

In a deep skillet, add oil. Place it over medium-high heat and heat the oil to 350 °F. Carefully lower the wontons into the hot oil and fry them for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown. Drain the wontons on a wire rack and continue cooking the chicken wontons until all of them have been fried.

To Bake The Chicken Wontons

Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Arrange the chicken wontons on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Spray the chicken wontons with nonstick cooking spray and bake them for ten minutes until golden brown.

To Assemble

Place the chicken wontons onto a serving dish and serve with the apricot sauce or Dumpling Sauce.
