The Healthiest Menu Items You Can Order At Chick-fil-A (2024)

We all know fast-food spots (and even some fast-casual chain restaurants) aren't the places to find healthy eats, but there are smart-ish choices to be made. Here's what you should order if you'd prefer to be health-conscious at Chick-fil-A:

BEST BREAKFAST:

At 300 calories and only 7 grams of fat, this is a seriously inoffensive choice when it comes to a fast-food breakfast. But let's be real—if you're waking up and getting to Chick-fil-A before 10 AM, it's because you want one thing and one thing only—chicken biscuits. While the original will cost you 440 calories, the minis are a surprisingly decent choice. You can down a 4-count for 370 calories and 14 grams of fat. TBH, that chicken biscuit goodness is worth an extra 70 calories.

BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH:

You don't need me to tell you that grilled chicken is always healthier than fried, but just how many calories is taking your chicken breadless going to save you? A grilled chicken sandwich comes in at 320 calories and only 5 grams of fat, making it the healthiest chicken sandwich you can order, while the original chicken sandwich is the healthiest of the fried options, at 440 calories and 18 grams of fat.

BEST NUGGETS:

Again, grilled comes out on top—but not by much. Grilled nuggets will cost you 140 calories and 3 grams of fat, which is only slightly less than the breaded nuggets at 270 calories and 13 grams of fat.

BEST SALAD:

The healthiest salad you can order at the chicken chain isn't much of a shocker—the grilled market salad contains 320 calories and 14 grams of fat, compared to the cobb salad, which comes in higher than a chicken sandwich at 500 calories and 27 grams of fat. Wowza—for all that, I'd totally rather have it on a bun.

BEST SIDE:

Hate to break it to ya, but waffle fries did not make the cut. Womp womp. If you want to truly live your healthiest life, stick to the fruit cup at 50 calories and 0 grams of fat.

BEST DESSERT:

If you want that ice cream texture without the guilt, the frosted coffee (cold-brew coffee blended with vanilla ice cream) is your best bet at 240 calories and 6 grams of fat—but if you want to treat yoself, for 20 calories more, you can have an actual icedream.
