Thai Basil Chicken Rice Paper Dumplings with Zesty Lime Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground chicken
• 1 cup Thai basil leaves, chopped
• 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 sheets rice paper

• 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

1. 01
   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
2. 02
   Add chopped Thai basil and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir in soy sauce and fish sauce. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. 03
   Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one sheet of rice paper into the water for about 5 seconds until pliable. Place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
4. 04
   Spoon 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of the rice paper. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
5. 05
   Preheat an air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with olive oil. Place the dumplings in a single layer in the basket and air fry for 10-12 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
6. 06
   To make the dipping sauce, whisk together lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and soy sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
7. 07
   Serve the dumplings warm with the zesty lime dipping sauce on the side.
