Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich

This grilled sandwich from Chick-fil-A could be the skinniest chicken sandwich around. Marinated grilled chicken breast on a wheat bun with dill pickle chips, lettuce, and tomato equal 28 grams of super lean protein and only 4 grams of fat. Even though it’s more waistline-friendly than most chicken sandwiches, it’s still a bit of a sodium bomb. Ask for yours without the Honey Roasted BBQ sauce and you’ll shave off 70 milligrams of sodium.
