Recently a group of friends and I was invited to Chick-fil-A for a tasting event for their new Grilled Chicken items.
Our table was set up and ready for us with flowers and placemats and little cow stuffed animals. After we were served the biggest drinks offered and were spoke with the owner of the store, our food was brought out to us one by one.
First up was the Grilled Market Salad. I already love this salad and I get it all the time. The only difference for my was I tried it with the Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette. I usually eat it with the Avocado Ranch Dressing. But I wanted to be adventurous and try new things! đ The Grilled Market Salad comes with grilled chicken breast served on a fresh bed of chopped Romaine lettuce and baby greens, topped with shredded red cabbage and carrots, crumbled blue cheese and a mix of red and green apples, strawberries and blueberries. It is absolutely delicious!

Next up was the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich. A boneless breast of chicken, marinated with a special blend of seasonings and grilled for a tender and juicy backyard-grilled taste It’s served on a toasted multigrain bun with Colby-Jack cheese, smoked applewood bacon, Green Leaf lettuce and tomato. Served with Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce. Again, I would never have added the sauce, but man was that good!

Now how did we eat of this food? We didn’t. We all had a few bites then placed them in out to go bag and went on to the next item. It was all so good it was hard to stop eating!
Next up was the Grilled Chicken Cool Wrap. I’ve had this before and knew how tasty these are but several of my friends have never tried it!?The wraps come with grilled chicken breast, nestled in a fresh mix of Green Leaf lettuce with shredded red cabbage and carrots and a blend of shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, tightly rolled in a flaxseed flour flat bread. And Avocado Lime Ranch dressing is recommend with it. I love that stuff!

All the while the owner and assistant manager were there with us telling us about each item and answering any questions. We were told that some new and exciting breakfast items would be coming soon. Also be on the look out for new coffee and iced coffee. I love iced coffee in the summer.
Chick-fil – A has some popular items that are gluten free such as their grilled market salads, chicken, fruit cups and waffle fries.
Grilled Chicken Nuggets
More food comes along – Grilled Chicken Nuggets. Now I’m a big fan of the original but I have to say, these are now my favorite besides the Market Salad. The nuggets are marinated with a special blend of seasonings and grilled for that tender and juicy backyard-grilled taste the Grilled Chicken Sandwiches come with.
Then the last item to come was the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Just like the Grilled Chicken Nuggets, this was wonderful! Served with the Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce, it was amazing!

After we were pleasantly stuffed we got a tour of the kitchen. They showed us all of the “real” ingredients they used, no bagged salads or powdered lemonade here.
Inside we were greeted by…
Fresh Ingredients
Did you know that Chick-fil-A cups are recyclable? They are. In the store they have a cup only bin where you can recycle them. Awesome!
Recycle those cups!
We got to see how the chicken comes in frozen, then gets de thawed and finally ready to be ready and breaded or grilled. We saw how boxes and boxes of fresh lemons were stored and ready to be squeezed for fresh lemonade. They really do make everything fresh.
Some of the group received a dessert and we all walked out with a bag full of goodies.
In that bag of goodies was a beach towel, a hat, a Tervis Tumbler, a small stuffed cow and some awesome gift cards for free grilled Chick-fil-A!!
I was given a few extras to pass along to my readers!!
A big shout out to our local Chick-fil-A for inviting us to taste the New Grilled Menu Items – Visit them at -https://www.facebook.com/CFAMarshLanding
