Food Court Style Teriyaki Chicken

For when you're craving some Panda Express but want to be nice to your body.

Hey gang!

This week I’m sharing a better-for-you version of one of my all-time favorite cheat meals, mall food court Teriyaki Chicken.

As a kid from the suburbs I spent an ungodly amount of time running around the mall with my friends sneaking into the adult section at Spencer’s, shopping at Hot Topic & Pac Sun, and just being an all-around headache for the mall cops.

My favorite part of the night was getting a double portion of teriyaki chicken from the food court and I still like to swing by Panda Express every now and again when I feel like a little treat.

Here’s the recipe for my version I like to whip up when I’m feeling nostalgic but want to keep the calories in check.

Macros, and a printable recipe card with a grocery list can be found at the bottom of this post.

I hope you enjoy!
