Slim Chickens is giving consumers a whole new way to enjoy its 100 percent all-natural, fresh chicken with the debut of the Original Tender Mac & Cheese Bowl. As Slim Chickens Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder Tom Gordon explains, "The launch of our new Tender Mac Bowls is just another way we prioritize serving our guests the high-quality, delicious and honest food that characterizes southern hospitality."

The Original Tender Mac & Cheese Bowl is a tasty take on a Southern classic. The dish starts with Slim Chickens' signature mac and cheese. The pasta is then topped with breaded chicken tenders and a blend of shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. There's also a Buffalo Tender Mac & Cheese Bowl featuring the chain's house-made Buffalo and Cayenne Ranch, green onions, and fried onions.
