Hungry for a new take on the Panera chicken sandwich?

Over the years, much has been said about the chicken sandwich wars. But, at the heart of the conversation is the craving for a great taste, perfect bite and satisfying sandwich. Now, the Panera chicken sandwich is getting a new take and it is time to experience it again.

While many people have turned to Panera for its coffee deals, pastries and bread as part of their day, the other menu items show the chef’s care and dedication to make a delicious dish. From picking the perfect bread that compliments the other ingredients to pushing the flavor boundaries, these food options are more than just any old sandwich.

With the Panera chicken, the sandwich starts with “100% all-white meat chicken breast.” That marinated chicken has a seasoning that amplifies all the other flavors. Whether it is a crunch, a touch of spice or a variety of other ingredients, it is the combination that makes it so satisfying.

Ready to try a new Panera chicken sandwich?

Although some people might not like change, a new flavor can excite guests to rediscover why they love Panera chicken. The “Signature Take” has been giving a flavor upgrade.

Starting with the new garlic aioli sauce, the spices compliment the marinated chicken. Balancing the sometimes pungent garlic, the spices help to add nuance to each bite.

While the sauce brings the bold flavor, the textures, specifically the crunch, adds to eating satisfaction. The parmesan crisps make the sandwich heartier. To offset that richness, the leafy greens bring the brightness. Served on a brioche bun, it is far different from other fast food chicken sandwiches.

For those guests who want a bolder flavor, the Spicy Take amps up the flavor in the sandwich. Instead of parmesan crisps, this version adds cucumber crisps. Although cucumbers might not be the obvious choice, it is a tasty one.

When paired with Panera’s Spicy Buffalo Sauce, it is a cacophony of flavors. From the cayenne pepper and touch of honey in the Spicy Buffalo Sauce to the brightness and spice of the cucumbers, this Spicy Take is an elevated version of those spicy chicken sandwiches.

The new Panera chicken sandwich offerings are available now. Check with local restaurants for availability.
