My family loves to order Chinese carryout so this CopyCat Panda Express Sweetfire Chicken Recipe is going to save us some $$’s. Last week we took the kiddos to Panda Express to try a few different items from their menu. Everyone LOVED the Sweetfire Chicken. So this week they were anxious to ask for Panda Express for dinner again. Panda Express is not as costly as the corner Chinese restaurant but still adds up with our large family. Making copycat recipes at home always saves us a bunch from our budget. I have shared MANY CopyCat Recipes with all of you you can see them all here.
