Families can use all of the help they can get to start off the new school year with a bang! Help from the trusted restaurant chain known as Chick-fil-A is definitely on the way. This week, Chick-fil-A introduced five new menu items to the nation for the back-to-school season.
The fifty plus year old restaurant chain thought it was important to make life a little bit easier for families at the beginning of the school year. The new menu options include 30-Count Nuggets, Waffle Potato Chips, and an improved Fruit Cup. Also, Chick-fil-A added two new items to the catering menu noted as a Grilled Chicken Bundle and a Spicy Chilled Grilled Chicken Sub Sandwich. All of these items are now available nationwide.
The new menu items such as the 30 Count Nuggets, Waffle Potato chips and Fruit Cup can be ordered over the counter or through the drive-thru window. The kettle cooked Waffle Potato Chips were originally offered through the catering menu but are now available on the regular menu. They are also a nice alternative to Chick-fil-A’s Waffle Fries and are gluten-free. The Waffle Potato Chips can be paired as a side item with any kid’s meal or entrée and also as a side offering on the catering menu.
Chick-fil-A even changed their Fruit Cup to include more blueberries and strawberries. The restaurant chain had received customer feedback that the Fruit Cup included too many apple pieces inside the fruit mix. Now the new and improved Fruit Cup is served chilled with fresh blueberries, strawberries, red and green apple pieces and mandarin oranges.
Two new scrumptious sandwich additions were also added to the catering menu. The Grilled Chicken Bundle is a build your own grilled chicken sandwich. On the catering menu it includes 10 grilled chicken breasts, multigrain buns, honey roasted BBQ sauce, tomatoes, green leaf lettuce, Colby-jack cheese and Applewood smoked bacon. This item serves ten people which is great for any after-school meetings or practice.
The second catering menu addition is the Spicy Chilled Grilled Chicken Sub which is the healthy grilled chicken option with a sizzling hot and spicy kick! Yum, yum. The boneless spicy chicken breast is marinated in a special blend of seasonings and is thinly sliced on a multigrain baguette. The sandwich is also dressed with pepper jack cheese, baby greens, sliced tomato with honey roasted BBQ sauce. This may not be an alternative for everyone due to its spicy nature.
Chick-fil-A has come to the rescue to make back-to school an exciting time for all. Chick-fil-A’s executive director of menu and packaging, Amanda Norris stated:
“We know the beginning of the school year can be hectic for families and we hope these new options help make life a little easier for our guests.”
Not only does Chick-fil-A want to make life a bit easier for us all, but they want to give away a free 8-count nugget if you download the Chick-fil-A App and create a Chick-fil-A One account. So, with the already stressful hustle and bustle of back-to-school, let Chick-fil-A take the load off and let’s kick back and celebrate their new menu options.
