Nitrogen trichloride is slightly polar. Each of the three bonds is only very slightly polar (electronegativity difference = 0.16). The molecule has a trigonal pyramidal central geometry, meaning the bond polarities do not entirely cancel one another. The net dipole moment turns out to be something like 0.6 debye, which is a pretty modest polarity.
