Panera Bread Asian Sesame Chicken Salad Stuffer

High histamine

This sesame chicken stuffer is high in histamine because its chicken breast now rates high, plus moderate roll and vinaigrette.

Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.

This salad stuffer is grilled chicken breast, an Italian roll, Asian sesame vinaigrette, crispy wonton strips, and roasted almonds over romaine with sesame seeds and cilantro.

  • The grilled chicken breast: this component is what carries the high rating here, since it now sits at the top of the scale on its own.

  • The roll, vinaigrette, wontons, and almonds: each of these sits at moderate, so several parts add up in the mid-range even though the chicken is the top driver.

The romaine, sesame seeds, and cilantro are the mildest parts of this stuffer.
