About This Dish

Potato Chicken is the sleeper on the Panda Express menu: diced chicken wok tossed with potatoes and vegetables in a light savory sauce, 190 calories a serving, one of the three lightest chicken entrees in the store, ordered inside formats from $8.50. Most people walk past it, and the ones who do not tend to order it again.

Potatoes in a Chinese American stir fry surprise first timers, and they work. The pieces are cut small and cooked until the edges catch, giving them a roasted quality that holds up against the sauce rather than turning to mush. The chicken is diced to the same size, and the whole dish eats as a savory hash more than a stir fry. Nothing is battered, nothing is glazed, and the sauce is thin enough to season without weighing anything down.

Potato Chicken calories sit at 190, with 8 g of protein, 18 g of carbs and only 10 g of fat. Set against the battered entrees running past 500 calories, it is one of the best value orders on the menu for anyone tracking. Sodium comes in at 510 mg, and the flags are wheat, soy and sesame from the sauce base.

How much is Potato Chicken? Stores price entrees locally, so the formats carry the dependable numbers, starting at $8.50 for a Bowl with a side.

It suits anyone who wants something filling that is not heavy, and it makes a genuinely good second entree on a Plate beside something sauced. Pair it with Super Greens at 130 calories for a complete meal in the low 300s, or skip the starchy side entirely since the potatoes already handle that job. Mushroom Chicken at 220 calories is the closest alternative in spirit and calorie count.

How to Make Potato Chicken at Home

The only real technique here is par cooking the potatoes so they finish at the same moment as the chicken. Everything else is a fast savory stir fry.

Tips

  • Dry the boiled potatoes properly or they will never crisp.
  • Cut chicken and potato the same size so the pan cooks evenly.
  • Do not over sauce; the potatoes absorb liquid and the dish goes gluey.

Variations

  • Add a teaspoon of chili flakes for warmth.
  • Sweet potato works and shifts the whole dish sweeter.
  • Skip the chicken and it becomes a solid vegetarian side.

Serve it with: Eat it as its own meal. The potatoes make a second starch unnecessary.

Is Potato Chicken available at every location?
