Chick-fil-A® Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich
Grilled Chicken Club Meal
The grilled chicken sandwich is a lemon-herb marinated chicken breast, grilled and served on a toasted multigrain bun with green leaf lettuce and tomato. It has 390 calories, which makes it the lightest sandwich on the menu. The Grilled Chicken Club adds cheese and bacon for 520 calories. This guide covers both, how they compare with the fried options, and how to order them from the complete Chick-fil-A menu.
What Are Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Sandwiches?
Two sandwiches use the grilled filet: the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and the Grilled Chicken Club. Many people still use the older chargrilled name for the plain version, but the menu lists it as the Grilled Chicken Sandwich today.
The plain sandwich is a boneless, skinless chicken breast marinated in lemon and herbs, grilled for what the chain calls a tender, juicy, backyard-smoky taste. It sits on a toasted multigrain bun with green leaf lettuce and tomato, and the ingredient list shows a honey and mustard sauce with smoke flavoring. There is no breading and no pickle. You can see the full sandwich category on the page for all Chick-fil-A sandwiches.

On delivery apps the sandwich starts at $9.75+ and the meal at $15.85+. Those are app "from" prices, not in-store prices. They change with the location and the fees.
Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich: Bacon, Colby Jack and Multigrain Brioche
The Grilled Chicken Club is the loaded version. It uses the same lemon-herb grilled breast, served on a toasted multigrain brioche bun with Colby Jack cheese, applewood smoked bacon, green leaf lettuce and tomato. The official page lists 520 calories, 37 g protein and 1,055 mg sodium.
Colby Jack is a blend of Colby and Monterey Jack, so it is mild and creamy. The bacon adds salt and smoke, and the brioche bun is softer and a little sweeter than the standard multigrain bun. Older pages often mention American cheese on this sandwich, but the current page and the menu data both say Colby Jack.
Chick-fil-A® Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich
Grilled Chicken Club Meal
The club costs more than the plain sandwich. Delivery apps list it from $12.55+ and the club meal from $18.65+. The usual meal includes a side and a drink, and the barbecue-style Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce is a popular dip with the bacon. The sauce choices can vary by restaurant.
Chick-fil-A Club Sandwich vs Grilled Sandwich vs Fried Filet
The club is the heaviest grilled option, the plain grilled sandwich is the lightest, and the fried sandwiches sit in between. The table uses official figures.
Chick-fil-A Club Sandwich vs Grilled Sandwich vs Fried Filet
| Sandwich | Chicken | Bun | Cheese and bacon | Calories | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grilled Chicken Sandwich | Grilled | Multigrain | None | 390 | 765 mg |
| Grilled Chicken Club | Grilled | Multigrain brioche | Colby Jack and bacon | 520 | 1,055 mg |
| Original | Breaded, fried | Buttered | None | 420 | 1,470 mg |
| Spicy | Breaded, fried | Buttered | None | 450 | 1,740 mg |
The grilled sandwich has less sodium than either fried sandwich, which is a real difference if you watch salt. The club closes the calorie gap with the fried options because of the cheese, the bacon and the richer bun.
Pick the plain grilled sandwich for a lighter lunch. Pick the club when you want something hearty without the breading. If you want a crisp coating, try the original breaded filet sandwich, which has 420 calories and a toasted buttered bun.
Chick-fil-A Spicy Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Other Swaps
There is no permanent spicy grilled sandwich on the standard menu. The Grilled Spicy Deluxe has returned for limited runs, and the spicy grilled filet also shows up in a few other items, so your options depend on the restaurant and the season. The spicy chicken sandwich page covers the fried version.
A grilled Chick-fil-A sandwich is easy to tweak. You can leave off the tomato or the lettuce, ask for no bun if you want only the chicken, or add cheese or bacon where offered. Prices for add-ons vary by location. Sauce is the other lever. A sweet, tangy option such as Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce suits the smoky marinade.
The grilled filet is also a swap in other items. Some seasonal builds list it as a choice, such as the chicken and waffles sandwich with a grilled filet. Salads and wraps use grilled chicken too.
Is the Chick-fil-A Grilled Filet a Lighter Pick?
Yes, mostly. The plain grilled sandwich has 390 calories and 28 g protein, so you get a high-protein sandwich with fewer calories than the fried options. The sodium is 765 mg, lower than the fried sandwiches. Some sites list a lower sodium number, but the official figure is the one to use.
The bun and sauce affect the total. The multigrain bun and the honey and mustard sauce add sugar, and a dip adds more. The club is not a light option, because the cheese and bacon push it to 520 calories and over 1,000 mg of sodium.
