Recommendation

For a lighter option: If you’re looking for a healthier option, pair the Chicken Potsticker with a low-calorie entrée like Grilled Teriyaki Chicken and a side of Super Greens or steamed rice. This will keep the meal balanced, with protein and vegetables, and keep the overall calories lower.
For a heartier meal: If you prefer a more indulgent meal, enjoy the Chicken Potstickers as an appetizer or side with rich, flavorful entrees like Orange Chicken or Beijing Beef. These combination options will be more calorie-dense, but still delicious.

Summary

The Chicken Potsticker at Panda Express is a tasty, lightly-steamed dumpling filled with a flavorful mix of ground chicken and vegetables, with about 140 calories per potsticker. It’s a lighter appetizer choice compared to some of the fried options, with a balance of protein, carbs, and fat. The dipping sauce adds extra flavor, but also increases the sodium content, so consider using it sparingly if you’re watching sodium intake.

The Chicken Potsticker contains allergens like wheat, soy, sesame, and gluten, so be mindful if you have sensitivities. For a healthier meal, combine it with grilled chicken and Super Greens, or for a richer option, pair it with fried rice and a flavorful entree.
