Toasted Frontega Chicken®: The Full Breakdown
The Toasted Frontega Chicken® sandwich is a legendary Panera classic that has sustained its popularity for decades. This masterpiece features smoked, pulled chicken paired with fresh mozzarella that melts perfectly during the toasting process. We add vine-ripened tomatoes and red onions for a fresh bite, balanced by the aromatic notes of fresh basil.
The entire sandwich is brought to life by our signature chipotle sauce, providing a smoky heat that complements the salt & pepper seasoning on our artisan Black Pepper Focaccia.

A Panera classic for a reason. The focaccia is always perfectly toasted and the chipotle sauce is just the right amount of spicy.
