My recipe testing began with just simply wanting to surprise my husband with some of his favorite entrees at home. It has grown and evolved to one of my favorite sayings, to 'make your home your favorite restaurant'! ~ Thank you for that saying, Nick Stellino!
So, while the recipes are as tasty as you would expect from Panda Express, the freshness and quality are well beyond Chinese takeout food quality. I hope you enjoy these entrees, side dishes, and appetizers as much as my family and I do!
I have included some discontinued items from their menu as well!
Panda Express Menu Chicken Entrees
The chicken entrees offered at Panda Express locations are always nicely varied. They offer everything from breaded, fried chunks of tender chicken to simple, light chicken options.

Instructions
Steamed Vegetables Method
Bring a large pot (that fits your steamer basket) with the steamer basket in place and the chicken broth or water with bouillon to a low boil over medium high heat.
Add prepared vegetables, cover and reduce heat. Steam the vegetables for 5 minutes.
Remove the steamer basket and serve immediately. Season to taste and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Wok Fried Vegetables Method
Heat a large stock pot with water and bring to a low boil over medium high heat. Add prepared vegetables and boil for 1 minute.
Use a strainer and transfer the boiled vegetables to a wok with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil that has been heated over high heat (you can add some minced garlic and ginger, if desired). Wok briefly, season with soy sauce, salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with optional sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
*The wok fried mixed vegetables method was shared with me by a PE chef. It works for them exceptionally well because the wok fried veggies are transferred to and kept warm in a steamer tray.
