About Grilled Chicken Sandwich
The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is the lightest sandwich Whataburger sells, at $6.79 and 444 calories. The fillet is marinated and grilled rather than breaded, then dressed with lettuce and tomato on a toasted bun.
Against the fried Signature Whatachick'n at 517 calories, this saves a meaningful amount without dropping to a salad. Skip the mayo and it drops further, which makes it the default order for anyone tracking intake but still eating with the table.

How to Make Grilled Chicken Sandwich at Home?
Grilled chicken sandwiches go wrong when the chicken is dry. A short brine and high heat for a short time fixes both problems.
Ingredients
Chicken
Assembly
Instructions
0 of 5 stepsTips
- Dry the surface after brining. Wet chicken steams instead of searing.
- Rest before slicing or assembling. This is the difference between juicy and dry.
- Pound to even thickness so the whole fillet finishes at the same time.
Variations
- Add avocado for healthy fat and a creamier bite.
- Buffalo grilled: toss the cooked fillet in hot sauce.
- Salad version: skip the bun and serve over a Garden Salad build.
Serving Ideas
Serve with applesauce at $1.89 instead of fries to keep the whole meal light.
