Roasted Chicken Salad
Made with tender, juicy chunks of sous vide cooked chicken breast, mixed with a creamy mayonnaise dressing, diced celery, black pepper and a splash of our signature red wine vinegar to give it a familiar kick. Red Vinegar acts as an acidifier, adding a signature flavor to the recipe. Using much less mayo than current formulation, the chicken becomes the protagonist of a well rounded recipe without any additional new SKUs. Replace the current chicken salad recipe, reducing the amount of mayo and adding Red Wine vinegar for the Jersey Mike's zing. Additionally, use sous-vide chicken to offer premium ingredients.
Jersey Mike’s chicken salad is a traditional recipe and an American sandwich classic that has proved popular with our customers. It falls well within the capabilities of the brand and what potential customers would expect from Jersey Mike’s. This chicken salad recipe looks to leverage a premium chicken that can be used as an extension on additional builds and explores a new signature recipe for Jersey Mike’s.

It’s doing well - I’ve been going through almost 2 bags daily. I’ve been talking it up and people are coming back up to us to tell us how good it is. It’s a massive improvement. It took a week and day to sell everything you gave us. It usually takes us a week to sell 5 pounds to 7.5 pounds. You gave us 10 bags… that’s 35 lbs so roughly 4 times as much.

Chicken salad has been a hit at Hibiscus! Everyone loves the flavor and the new chicken. The only complaint is that the recipe ends up pretty soupy. We’re going to try cutting the Mayo back a little bit and seeing how the consistency/flavor is. My wife was the very first and very last person to order chicken salad last time. It has her approval, so it has my approval.

My mom loved it! She had the old chicken salad and never ordered it again. She said this is far better. And her second favorite sub next to the club supreme.

I just made the last batch of chicken salad we have for the store. Is there any way we can get some more? It’s been selling like crazy.

Chicken Salad will be launched to complement the seasonal rotation from April through September, filling the gap when Pastrami is not available. This will be a reliable secondary offering during the warmer months, providing a lighter, refreshing option without requiring a major marketing push. Chicken Salad would be positioned as a seasonal staple, allowing us to maintain variety and customer interest year-round.

The roasted chicken salad recipe leverages the roasted chicken already in stores. The new recipe also requires only half the amount of mayo from before and with the additional of Red Wine Vinegar, a new signature build is born.
