Fazoli’s new Chicken Parm Breadstick is part of a brand new summer menu that offers three different takes on the chain's iconic Baked Chicken Parmigiano dish. The new Chicken Parm Breadstick starts with a piece of crispy chicken topped with marinara sauce and a [creamy parmesan cream sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donatos-pizza-creamy-parm-sauce). The whole thing is baked with mozzarella cheese and finished with a nutty basil pesto drizzle. To give the dish a breadstick-like twist, the chicken parm is served on top of a [buttery garlic breadstick slider bun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-bites). For those who want to try all three chicken parmesan varieties, Fazoli’s is also offering Chicken Parm Pasta Duo that combines Baked Chicken Parmigiano with Fettuccini Alfredo, and Chicken Parm Fries served with a Spicy Tomato Pepper sauce on the side.
