# Fruity Breakfast Sandwiches Dunkin Donuts Gets a Breakfast Menu with Chicken Apple Sausage By Jennifer Paul | Published 2014-04-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-apple-sausage References: [foodbeast](http://www.foodbeast.com/2014/04/28/dunkin-donuts-releases-breakfast-sandwich-made-with-chicken-apple-sausage/) & [dunkindonuts](http://www.dunkindonuts.com) Dunkin' Donuts has decided to add a chicken apple sausage sandwich to its breakfast menu. Personally, I haven't decided yet if I am intrigued or skeptical about how the sausage would taste. I like both foods on their own so it may be a little strange to eat them at the same time, but it seems very fitting for breakfast. If you are looking for a great way to start your day that doesn't involve a donut and coffee this is the perfect option for you. Dunkin' Donuts released the new breakfast sandwich as part of its 'better-for-you' menu. This is the first menu item to feature the chicken apple sausage. The sandwich is made with an egg, reduced-fat cheese and split chicken apple sausage that is seasoned with spices on an English muffin. The entire breakfast sandwich from Dunkin' Donuts is only 400 calories. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Breakfast Innovation:** Opportunities for new breakfast items and concepts that offer healthy and unique alternatives for consumers. - **Health-conscious Eating:** Shift towards catering to consumers who are seeking healthier and more nutritional options for fast food and on-the-go meals. - **Savory-sweet Combinations:** Increased experimentation with unconventional flavor combinations, particularly blending sweet and savory tastes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains are facing a growing demand to offer healthier menu items. - **Food and Beverage:** Innovations in taste and nutritional content of food and beverage products continue to disrupt the industry. - **Packaged Food:** Packaged food companies are under pressure to adapt to changing consumer preferences towards healthy, convenient and unique alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protein-Filled Breakfast Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-1.md) - [Hot Honey Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-bacon-sandwich.md) - [High-Protein Omelet Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-omelet-bites.md) - [Loaded Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-chicken-egg-avocado-on-ciabatta.md) - [Hash Brown Breakfast Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hash-brown-brisket-scramble-bowl.md) - [Cheeseburger-Inspired Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sausage-bacon-deluxe.md) - [Cheesy Chicken Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-cheddar-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Heat-and-Eat Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/applegate-naturals-breakfast-sandwiches.md) - [Savory Breakfast Sanwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-english-muffin.md)
