The sandwich franchise Port of Subs has launched a limited-time Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich. The menu item features grilled chicken breast, ham, Swiss cheese, and honey mustard on its signature fresh-baked bread. Available through September 30, 2026, the sandwich is joined by new Jalapeño Cheddar Bread and a Brookie dessert.
Port of Subs' Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich transforms a classic bistro-style dish into a convenient, handheld format that is both familiar and novel. The savory combination of proteins and melted cheese, alongside the sweet-savory honey mustard sauce, appeals to those seeking a hearty, satisfying meal.
The introduction of Jalapeño Cheddar Bread provides an option for customers who enjoy a spicy option, while the Brookie — a hybrid brownie-cookie dessert — caters to those with a sweet tooth.
