Chicken Salad Sandwich

What is it?

Shredded chicken breast mixed with diced celery, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and a sweet relish dressing went onto toasted wheat bread, usually with green leaf lettuce. Built more like a deli-style sandwich than a breaded chicken item, it leaned on a soft, chunky filling instead of a hot fried cutlet. Chick-fil-A made the chicken salad fresh in restaurants, so the texture was closer to homemade than shelf-stable versions. It was part of the chain’s older sandwich lineup and was discontinued in 2017, though the recipe was later shared online.
