Chick-fil-A is unveiling a new 'Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich,' featuring a delicious combination of lemon-herb grilled chicken breast, Pepper Jack cheese, lettuce, bacon marinated in brown sugar and pepper, and sweet and spicy pickles. These toppings are sandwiched neatly between two maple-flavored brioche buns, adding to the sweetness.
"We are always looking for ways to make unique twists to our entrée selection and the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich is a delicious spin on the Chick-fil-A flavors our guests know and love. It is a delicious blend of sweet, savory and spicy, offering an entirely different flavor profile than any other sandwich we’ve launched," Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging, said.
The new 'Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich' will launch on June 10 for approximately $8.19 per sandwich.
