Panada Express may be about to expand its chicken lineup with the launch of new Almond Diced Chicken.
If there's one thing Panda Express knows how to do, it's chicken. The brand is famous for its orange chicken and has also served up fan-favorite dishes like Crispy Citrus Chicken and Crispy Almond Chicken Breast. Now the brand has been spotted serving a new iteration on the classic protein: Almond Diced Chicken. The new dish started with diced, wok-tossed chicken, paired with red bell peppers, chopped green string beans, diced red bell peppers, sliced almonds, and black pepper sauce. The new dish has been spotted at select Panda Express locations in the Pasadena, CA. area., but there's no word yet on whether it will roll out nationwide.
