Have you seen the size of it? It's pretty small....also, look at the cholesterol.

I ate one for lunch the other day when traveling...along with a side of mushy green beans. It was a complete meal..albeit probably not the healthiest...but no worse than anything else I've had at a fast food joint.

I tried one a couple of weeks ago, but got mine made with grilled chicken. It really wasn't that greasy, but the saltiness was overpowering.

Maybe that was just me, though... I think most restaurant food is too salty.

grilled version is actually less healthy for you due to the higher amount of salt they use to give it 'comparable' flavor to fried version.
 
I liked the grilled version more than the fried. For me, the fried one was way too salty, to the point that I thought they accidentally spilled a whole tub of salt into the fryer, and I LOVE salt, like almost overpoweringly so.
 
I tried both the grilled and fried on separate occasions. The grilled is definitely more salty like others said, but the main problem was that all the stuff in the middle fell out after like 2 bites. The friend one stayed together much better.

I haven't eaten them since. They were good, but not something I would put on my weekly rotation. I wouldn't mind having one every couple months though.
 
I tried one because it looked delicious in the ads. However it really isn't that good. Maybe if they sandwhiched it between tomato slices or something to contrast the taste of chicken.

I'm glad I'm not a vegetarian, because this sandwich tastes good.
Too expensive though, $5 here. Fortunately that will keep me from eating them too often 😛
 
What does this have to do with gluttony???? 🙄

Eating a particular type of food doesn't qualify as gluttony. You may need to check the dictionary OP. Wrong context.

They need to replace the bacon with more chicken.

yep, it's not really a revolutionary product once you've seen it. basically it's a cordon blue that instead of being stuff was totally cut into two portions (for ease of fast food cooking) and served without need of knife/fork and the ham was replaced with bacon. for a sample version of a single chicken breast, rather expensive.

You may need to re-check the meaning of the word.

In Christianity it is considered one of the seven deadly sins—a misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy.

I would definitely consider the fact that people did not want this to end.. a definite misplaced desire of food... in this case.. a desire of the double down.
