sweetgreen may be best known for its salads but now the fast casual chain is getting into the grain game with the launch of its new Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl.
A major development for the chain, the new Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl is an all-grains bowl that deviates from the brand's usual focus on salad. The new dish starts with a base of wild rice and lime cilantro black beans, which add a healthy dose of protein right from the start. The rice and beans are then paired with blackened chicken, which is dressed in a new Roasted Chipotle Salsa, as well as sliced tomatoes and cabbage. As Nicolas Jammet, sweetgreen Co-Founder and Chief Concept Officer said of the new offering, "Our customers’ feedback plays a major role in the new menu items we introduce, and the Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl is our answer to heartier meal options that can be enjoyed any time of the day."
