melty chicken parm sandwiches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Starbird's new Chicken Parm Sandwich has arrived for 2025

— January 8, 2025 — Lifestyle
The super-premium fast-food concept Starbird is going all in on Italian flavors this season with the debut of several new Mediterranean-inspired offerings, including the new Chicken Parm Sandwich.

A tasty way to kick off 2025, Starbird's new Italian-inspired menu lineup has something for everyone. First up is the new Chicken Parm Sandwich, which pairs crispy chicken with a rich marinara sauce, fresh basil, provolone cheese, herby basil pesto, and roasted garlic aioli, all served on a toasted bun. For something a little lighter, there's the new Bella Chop Salad, which features a romaine and cabbage base, all topped with crispy chicken, juicy grape tomatoes, aged provolone cheese, shaved radicchio, garlic parmesan, parsley, and house-made golden balsamic vinaigrette, all finished with roasted garlic aioli and balsamic drizzle. Finally, there's the new Lemon Garlic Tender Box, which features crispy chicken tenders drizzled with a savory roasted garlic aioli, garlic parmesan, parsley, and a zesty lemon pepper finish.
