Place a large, non-stick pan (preferably one with a lid) on a clean work surface. Using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out small, evenly spaced portions of the meat filling directly into the pan. Aim for about 9 portions per batch, leaving space between each.

Take one round dumpling wrapper and place it directly over each scooped portion of meat filling in the pan. Gently press the edges of the dumpling wrappers around the meat filling to seal them, forming a 'blanket' over the meat.

Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan, ensuring it covers the bottom but does not submerge the dumplings. This will create steam for cooking.

Cover the pan with a lid and place it on the stove over medium heat. Allow the dumplings to steam and cook through for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken filling is cooked.
⏱️ 10 min

Once the dumplings are cooked and most of the water has evaporated, remove the lid. Increase the heat to high and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, or until the bottoms of the dumplings become golden brown and crispy.

Carefully transfer the blanket dumplings to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with chili oil and garnish with additional chopped green onions. Serve immediately, optionally with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
