In an effort to provide consumers with healthier menu options, Red Robin has introduced a new Avocado Chicken Wedgie sandwich that is made without the bun. Perfect for those following a low-carb diet, as well at those who are gluten-free, the new sandwich is a perfect alternative to a traditional chicken burger.
The new Avocado Chicken Wedgie sandwich is a 360-calorie dish that is low on carbs. The sandwich itself consists of a flame-grilled chicken breast topped with avocado, tomatoes, bacon, red onion and ranch dressing. The whole thing is then wrapped in a lettuce wedge for a light and crisp alternative to a traditional sandwich bun.
With many consumers aiming to eat healthier in 2017, this new bun-free sandwich is healthy, yet satisfying option.
