Chick-fil-A’s Chicken Sandwich: Price, Calories and Nutrition (2026)

The Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich is the sandwich that started it all: a boneless chicken breast, seasoned, freshly breaded, and pressure cooked in peanut oil, served on a toasted buttery bun with dill pickle chips. It was invented back in 1964 and the recipe has barely changed since, which tells you how right they got it the first time. At 420 calories it is also lighter than most fast food flagship sandwiches. Here is the 2026 price, the calorie count, and the full nutrition breakdown.

Prices vary by location; Chick-fil-A does not publish prices on its official site, so this figure is a 2026 estimate from secondary sources.

What is in a Chicken Sandwich

A boneless breast of chicken, seasoned to perfection, freshly breaded, and pressure cooked in 100% refined peanut oil. It goes on a toasted, buttery bun with dill pickle chips. That is the whole build: chicken, pickles, bun. No mayo, no lettuce, no extras getting in the way, which is exactly why the chicken itself has to carry the sandwich, and it does.

Chicken Sandwich nutrition facts

Full nutrition breakdown for one sandwich (183g serving), based on Chick-fil-A’s official US nutrition data.

Nutrient	Amount per Sandwich
Calories	420
Total fat	18g
Total carbohydrates	41g
Protein	29g
Sodium	1460mg

At 420 calories with 29 grams of protein, this is one of the better protein-per-calorie ratios among fast food flagship sandwiches. The sodium is the number to watch: 1460 mg is well over half a day’s recommended limit in a single sandwich, driven by the seasoned breading and the pickles.

Allergens

The Chicken Sandwich contains milk, egg, soy, wheat, and sesame, per Chick-fil-A’s official allergen listing. The sesame comes from the bun, the milk and egg from the breading and bun ingredients, and wheat and soy from the breading, bun, and seasoning. If any of these affect you, check the current allergen guide at your restaurant.

How to customize your sandwich

• Add American cheese: turns it closer to the Deluxe build, for an upcharge.
• Add lettuce and tomato: also available, same idea.
• No pickles: possible on request if you want the plain version.
• No bun: possible on request; sometimes ordered this way with a side salad.
• Make it a meal: waffle fries and a drink is the standard combo order.
