Newfoundland-born chicken chain [Mary Brown’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brandnew-grilled-chicken-sandwich) may be best known for its crispy chicken sandwiches, but the release of the new [Southwest Grilled Chicken Sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-chicken-offering) demonstrates a move to diversify the brand's menu.

Ideal for those who are looking for something a little lighter, the new Southwest Grilled Chicken Sandwich is made with the brand’s new juicy chicken breast filet, instead of a crispy fried filet. The chicken breast is then topped with a new [sweet and smoky ancho chipotle sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baja-chipotle-turkey-sub), alongside freshly shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and red onion, all served on a fluffy brioche bun.

The new Southwest Grilled Chicken Sandwich can be ordered a la carte or as part of a combo from participating locations nationwide.
