,[Lennys Grill & Subs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lennys-grill-subs), the brand best known for its premium deli subs and [grilled-to-order cheesesteak sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-cheesesteak), recently announced the debut of a new [Spicy Fajita](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-nacho-steak) Chicken Sandwich.

A delicious cross between a sub sandwich and chicken fajitas, the new Spicy Fajita Chicken Sandwich is a creative culinary innovation. The new dish starts with Tex-Mex seasoned grilled chicken, which is then paired with classic fajitas veggies like peppers and onions. To tie it all together, Lennys adds creamy Provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, sliced jalapenos, and a spicy Southwest sauce. As for bread, you can choose between fresh-baked white or wheat bread.

As Lennys' Marketing and Communications Manager Ranee Huff explains in a press release for the new product, "Our newest offering was created for customers who like to kick it up a notch with their subs. Fajitas have a broad appeal, and we translated that into a sandwich with a little extra spicy flavor combination.”
