Chicken Potstickers
Chicken potstickers have always been one of my favorite things to order whenever we get takeout, but once I realized how easy they are to make at home, I was hooked. With a juicy chicken and cabbage filling, fresh ginger and garlic, and a simple homemade dipping sauce, these homemade potstickers taste just as good, if not better, than anything you can order.
