This fast food chain has the meats — and now, a tasty new drop of specialty sandwiches.
Earlier today, the fast food behemoth Arby’s, known best for its mouthwatering roast beef offerings, released its latest sandwich releases, including a Chicken Cheesesteak, Chicken Deluxe Cheesesteak and Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak.
The sandwiches all feature chicken marinated in a paprika, garlic and onion spice blend, which is then cooked “sous vide” — meaning the meat has been sealed in a plastic bag and cooked in precise temperature-controlled water for peak juiciness. They are then seared and served on a toasted roll with Cooper Sharp cheese (typically the aged American cheese of choice when it comes to Philly-style cheesesteaks), which can be switched out with another cheese if desired.
That’s not all the mouthwatering sandwiches have to offer. All three are also topped with caramelized onions and are served on a toasted, sesame seed roll. The deluxe option also includes shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes, while the spicy version is topped with what the chain calls a “spicy glaze for guests interested in a bit more heat,” per a company statement.
The drop comes after a host of other new offerings at Arby’s this year, including the Angus Cheesesteak, which quickly became a fan favorite when an upgraded version was re-released this past June following its original drop in 2025, ultimately becoming a permanent menu fixture and likely inspiring Arby’s latest drop of chicken-centric bites.
For now, the sandwiches are set to be on the menu for a limited time, though it is not yet clear just how limited.
While prices can vary on location, the regular Chicken Cheesesteak rings in at around $7.49, the Deluxe at $8.49 and the Spicy at $7.99.
Social media reactions to the new chicken sandwiches are currently rolling in, and appear to be largely positive.
“[Arby’s] makes no mistakes with its new chicken cheesesteaks — regular, deluxe with lettuce and tomato, or spicy,” said one TikTok taster.
“Love me a menu change!” posted another, with #ChickenCheesesteak.
While the three sandwiches may be the latest in Arby’s new lineup this year, they certainly aren’t the first. Earlier this year, the chain released the French Dip Royale (a hot take on the brand’s French Dip & Swiss Sandwich) and steak nuggets for a protein-forward option, with 17 grams of protein per five-piece serving and 30 grams per nine-piece serving. Sliders were also returned to the menu, at 10 grams of protein and costing less than $2 a piece.
