Fan Favorite Honey Sesame Chicken Breast Makes Short but Sweet Return to Panda Express

America’s favorite Chinese kitchen brings back popular limited time menu item with the addition of organic honey

ROSEMEAD, Calif. (Aug. 15, 2018) – Panda Express, America’s favorite Chinese kitchen, announced today the return of a guest favorite dish, Honey Sesame Chicken Breast, to restaurants nationwide. Available for a limited time, the entrée will feature the same beloved crispy chicken breast strips, string beans and yellow bell peppers tossed in a sweet sesame sauce – for the first time crafted with organic honey.

Since its first appearance on the menu in 2013, Honey Sesame Chicken Breast has grown a devoted following of fans who await its reappearance each year. Returning just in time for fall, busy families can find comfort in knowing this special dish is once again available at Panda Express, ready to perk up their busy back-to-school routines. Better yet, the newly added organic honey enriches the original recipe and is a delicious complement to other Panda Express dishes such as the Original Orange Chicken™ and better-for-you WokSmart™ dishes like the popular Broccoli Beef. 

“The wait is over for Honey Sesame Chicken Breast, which offers the bold Chinese flavors one can expect at Panda Express,” said Chef Jimmy Wang, director of culinary innovation. “As one of our most popular limited time offers, Honey Sesame Chicken Breast brings families together at the table - an important moment in life that we hope all of our guests have more time to enjoy with their loved ones.”
