Grilled Chicken Sandwich

As someone who has tasted more grilled chicken sandwiches than I care to admit, Potbelly’s version lands in the “reliable and satisfying” category.

The chicken breast is seasoned well and grilled to perfection — juicy inside with a light smoky char on the outside. It’s not trying to reinvent the sandwich game, but it nails the basics. The fresh lettuce, ripe tomato slices, and crunchy pickles bring a cool, refreshing crunch, while the mayo or zesty aioli ties the flavors together. Served on Potbelly’s toasted bread (or whole-grain if you prefer), it delivers that signature crunch they’re known for.

Items & Toppings

The best part? You can customize it to suit your taste. Popular add-ons include:

• Cheddar Cheese – Melts perfectly over the chicken, adding creamy sharpness.
• Bacon – Smoky, crispy, and indulgent.
• Avocado – Creamy texture with healthy fats.
• Caramelized Onions – Sweet and savory depth.
• Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles – Fresh, tangy, and crunchy.

Main Ingredients

• Grilled Chicken Breast – Lean protein with smoky flavor.
• Lettuce – Crisp and refreshing.
• Tomato Slices – Juicy and slightly sweet.
• Pickles – Tangy crunch.
• Mayonnaise or Aioli – Creamy and smooth.
• Toasted Bun or Whole-Grain Bread – Adds structure and crunch.

The Good:

• Fresh, quality ingredients
• Signature toasted bread with great crunch
• Flexible customization with flavorful toppings
• Balanced mix of savory chicken and fresh veggies

The Not-So-Good:

• Flavor profile is safe, not bold
• Price feels slightly high with premium add-ons
• Quality can vary by location

Overall Rating:
Potbelly’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich is a dependable, fresh-tasting choice for a healthy lunch or light dinner. It’s not the most exciting sandwich on the menu, but it’s one you can order again and again knowing it’ll hit the spot. Rating: 7/10

Pro Tip: Add avocado, hot peppers, and a splash of vinaigrette to give it more personality.
