Jimmy John’s is bringing the heat this winter with the debut of its new Kickin' Cajun Chicken Sandwich and Wrap.
Inspired by classic Cajun spices and flavors, the two new offerings feature a flavorful combination of chicken and veggies. More specifically the new sandwich is made with tender chicken, provolone cheese, a spicy Creole chili pepper sauce, Jimmy Peppers (aka hot peppers), onions, lettuce, mayo, oil, vinegar, and crispy jalapeños, all served on a fresh French bread sub. If you prefer something slightly more portable, you can also enjoy all the same flavorful ingredients stuffed into a garlic and herb wrap.
Both the new Kickin' Cajun Chicken Sandwich and Wrap are available now from participating Jimmy John's locations for less than $12 (though prices may vary by location).
