Panera, known for discounts like its "You Pick Two," is offering a new limited-time deal this September: a whole entree plus a free side for just $7.99.
Starting today, guests ordering a Chicken Bacon Rancher Sandwich or Fuji Apple Chicken Salad via the Panera app
can use the code FALLDEAL to get a full-size sandwich or salad, plus a side for just $7.99.
The deal is limited to one item per transaction, so if you want to try both, you'll just have
to place two separate orders. Side options include a bag of chips, a hunk of baguette, or an apple.
The Chicken Bacon Rancher Sandwich has been one of Panera's top sellers since the chain's new menu debuted in April.
Built on black pepper focaccia, the sandwich is stacked with grilled chicken, applewood smoked bacon, aged white cheddar, and ranch.
Longtime Panera fans will recognize The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, a classic menu item made with romaine and crisp mixed greens tossed in a sweet white balsamic vinaigrette, topped with grilled
chicken, grape tomatoes, red onions, toasted pecan pieces, feta, and apple chips. Though it's sweet, this salad is known as one of the healthiest items on the Panera menu, thanks to its 30 grams of high-quality protein and 5 grams of fiber.
Like any menu item at Panera, the Chicken Bacon Rancher Sandwich and The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad are both customizable with optional veggie, cheese, and dressing additions.
