Noodles & Company is bolstering its selection of plant-based offering with the launch of its new Plant-Based Impossible Panko Chicken nationwide.
Earlier this year, Noodles & Company tested out Plant-Based Impossible Panko Chicken in a few select markets. It seems that the meat-free chicken was a hit because the chain is now offering the veggie-based protein nationwide. The new Plant-Based Impossible Panko Chicken is made entirely from plants and features the added bonus of a crispy panko coating on the outside. Not to mention, the faux meat protein also boats a whopping 12 grams of protein per 80 gram serving.
The new Plant-Based Impossible Panko Chicken can be added to just about any Noodles dish and is also featured in two star entrees: LEANguini Rosa with Impossible Chicken and Impossible Orange Chicken Lo Mein.
