About This Dish

Teriyaki Chicken is the protein leader on the Panda Express menu: chicken thigh cooked and served with teriyaki sauce worked through, 340 calories a serving carrying 41 g of protein, more than any other national entree, ordered in formats from $8.50. Anyone chasing grams rather than lightness should start here.

It is the sauced counterpart to the grilled version, and the difference matters on the tray. Where Grilled Teriyaki Chicken arrives sliced with sauce ladled over the top, this one comes with the teriyaki fully involved, so every piece carries the sweet savory coating. The meat stays juicy because it is thigh, and the sauce caramelizes slightly in the pan, giving the edges a darker, deeper flavor than a plain ladle achieves.

Teriyaki Chicken calories run 340 with 41 g of protein and 14 g of carbs, a macro line no other entree matches for muscle building purposes. The trade is sodium at 630 mg and sugar at 10 g, both carried by the sauce. Published flags are wheat, soy and sesame, the wheat arriving through the soy sauce base.

How much is Teriyaki Chicken? Entree prices are set store by store, so the formats hold the published numbers: $8.50 for a Bowl, $10.50 for two entrees, $12.50 for three.

It suits training days and anyone building a high protein order, and it is the dish the protein guide on this site ranks first. Pair it with Super Greens at 130 calories for the leanest high protein bowl available, or with Fried Rice at 620 calories when the day calls for refueling rather than restraint. Grilled Teriyaki Chicken at 275 calories is the lighter version with the sauce on top instead of through.

How to Make Teriyaki Chicken at Home

Teriyaki is four ingredients reduced until it clings. Make it once and the sauce lives in the fridge for a month, which turns this into a fifteen minute dinner.

Steps

0 of 5 steps

Tips

  • 175 F for thigh, not 165. The extra ten degrees is where connective tissue softens.
  • Glaze at low heat; sugar burns fast once the sauce hits a hot pan.
  • The sauce keeps a month refrigerated and works on salmon, tofu and roasted vegetables.

Variations

  • Add a tablespoon of chili paste to the sauce for a spicy teriyaki.
  • Pineapple juice replacing half the mirin gives a fruitier profile.
  • Grill rather than pan sear and you have the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken version.

Serve it with: Steamed rice with the pan sauce spooned over, and something green beside it to cut the sweetness.
