Copycat Panera Chicken Teriyaki Bowl Recipes

COPYCAT PANERA TERIYAKI CHICKEN & BROCCOLI BOWL

Steps:

• Add the diced chicken, 1 tbsp cornstarch, rice wine vinegar, 1 tsp stevia together in a ziploc bag and marinate in refrigerator for 30 min
• In a separate bowl, combine pineapple juice, apple juice, soy sauce, hoisin, stevia, ginger, chili flakes and corn starch and whisk together. Be sure cornstarch dissolves completely
• Partially steam broccoli florets for 2 min in microwave steamer (or bowl covered with plastic wrap) and 2 tbsp water
• While broccoli steams, heat rice/quinoa blend (or cauliflower rice)
• Heat a non-stick skillet on high - the hotter the better - When pan is hot, add sesame oil and olive oil to the pan - it should ripple and pop a little
• Add chicken and minced garlic - oil will pop - you might want to have a cover
• Sear on high for 3-4 minutes - stirring so it doesn't stick
• Once chicken is cooked through, add in steamed broccoli and toss gently
• Whisk sauce in bowl to be sure corn starch hasn't settled. Then add to the pan with chicken & broccoli.
• Simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens. This makes more sauce than the Panera version - they serve with a "glaze" vs. extra sauce - but trust me - it's so good - you'll be happy you have it!
• While sauce thickens, in a separate bowl, mix rice with juice from lime and cilantro - toss to combine
• Serve chicken and broccoli over rice top with sesame seeds and cilantro for garnish

FRONTEGA CHICKEN PANINI - COPYCAT PANERA RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• CHICKEN: Place chicken, broth, liquid smoke and salt in a slow cooker and cook on high for AT LEAST 4 hours! Once the 4 hours are up, remove chicken from broth and "pull" apart shred. In a small bowl mix together the mayo and sour cream. Stir in the chipotle pepper and basil. Set it in the fridge for 1 hour. Use your panini press to grill or heat a grill pan on medium heat, and place on the rolls, cut side down until they turn a nice gold brown. Layer the chicken, tomato, onion & mozzarella and top with the bread, and place a heavy pan on top or push down hard with a spatula until the mozzarella cheese is melty and gooey! Serve and enjoy!

COPYCAT PANERA ASIAN SESAME CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl mix together all of the marinade ingredients. Pour into a gallon size bag with the chicken breasts and let marinate for 20 minutes. Make sure to turn every few minutes so all sides of the chicken breast get covered with marinade.
• Cook on the grill over medium-low heat until cooked through. Make slices in each chicken breast after grilling.

COPY PANERA CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH (ORIGINAL)

Steps:

• Take the Chicken Breasts and place them on a cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a mallet (or a frying pan if you don't have one) to a 1/2 inch thickness. They will cook more evenly and it will be easier to chop them into even chunks. HEAVILY season both sides of the chicken with garlic and onion powder. (You are going to boil the chicken so don't worry about it being too salty.) Put the chicken in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring it to a boil and then cover and let simmer till cooked, about 10 minutes. If it finishes cooking earlier then take it out then so it doesn't become rubbery. Take the chicken out and let cool.
• Chop the celery and the cooled chicken and set in a bowl. In another small bowl put mayo, sugar, pepper, lemon juice together and whisk until well combined. You want the sugar to disintegrate so that you're not tasting the grain.
• Mix the mayo with the chicken and celery. Take a slice of bread and place a large slice of lettuce, then tomato, then red onion. Top with the chicken salad and another slice. Serve with potato chips and pickle. (Or you're favorite soup!).
• I hope you like this recipe. I really thought it out and was RELIEVED that my hard work paid off and it tasted so close to the real thing!
• Good luck!
