Take one rice paper wrapper and submerge it in the warm water for about 15-20 seconds, or until it becomes pliable and soft. Do not oversoak, as it can become too sticky to handle.

Carefully lay the softened rice paper flat on your clean work surface. Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling in the center of the rice paper.

Fold one side of the rice paper over the filling to meet the other side, creating a half-moon shape, similar to an empanada. Gently press down on the edges to seal the dumpling, ensuring no filling escapes. Repeat this process for the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling.

To pan-fry: Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the dumplings in the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the chicken filling is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
