Chick-fil-A testing new sandwich option featuring cauliflower filet
The 'plant-forward' option by the chain will test in a few markets
Chick-fil-A customers in a few markets will soon be able to try a "plant-forward" sandwich option.
The new entrée Chick-fil-A is trialing features a "tender filet cut from a whole, real cauliflower," a first for the fast-food chain known for its chicken sandwich, the company announced Thursday. Testing in three markets kicks off Monday.
