A recent addition to the chain's popular $13 Lunch Specials menu, the new Strawberry Chicken Salad is a light, yet flavorful option that's perfect for mid-day. The new dish starts with a bed of baby field greens, topped with grilled chicken, fresh strawberries, mandarin oranges, bleu cheese, candied pecans, and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Alongside the new Strawberry Chicken Salad, [BJ's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickin-chicken-sandwich) is also serving up a new Bacon Chicken Ranch Piadina, which is a wrap made with applewood-smoked bacon and seasoned grilled chicken, and the new Smothered Southern Fried Chicken, which features hand-breaded buttermilk fried chicken. All three of the new launch specials are available now.
