Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Form the chicken mixture into 10 small, round balls. Place these chicken balls into the heated pan.

While the chicken cooks, prepare the rice paper wrappers. Fill a shallow dish or bowl with warm water. Take one round rice paper and submerge it in the water for 15-20 seconds, or until it becomes pliable. Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean work surface.

Carefully remove each partially cooked chicken ball from the pan. Place one chicken ball in the center of a softened rice paper. Fold the edges of the rice paper over the chicken ball, enclosing it completely to form a dumpling. Place the wrapped dumpling back into the pan with the remaining chicken balls. Repeat for all chicken balls and rice papers.
