About The Chicken Salad Chick Mac & Cheese
Chicken Salad Chick Mac & Cheese is a warm, creamy side dish that earns its spot on the menu every single time. It’s rich without being heavy, cheesy without being sharp, and it hits that sweet spot of Southern comfort food done right. Most people come in for the chicken salad. They leave talking about the Mac & Cheese.
What makes this side stand out is how well it fits the brand. Chicken Salad Chick has built its name on fresh, homemade-style food. This Mac & Cheese follows that same idea. You’re not getting something that tastes like it came out of a box. It’s served warm, made with real cheese, and it delivers every time.
If you’re ordering for the first time or just want to know what you’re getting into, you’re in the right place. I’ll walk you through everything from ingredients and calories to how it stacks up against other sides on the menu.
Chicken Salad Chick Mac & Cheese Ingredients
The ingredient list here is short, which is actually a good sign. Simple ingredients done well beat a long list of additives every time.
The Mac & Cheese is made with tender pasta tossed in a rich cheese sauce. Based on the allergen profile, the dish contains elbow pasta made with wheat, a creamy cheese-based sauce using real dairy, butter, and seasonings that give it that Southern warmth. It contains egg, gluten, milk, and wheat. It does not contain fish, MSG, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, or tree nuts.
The cheese sauce is the star here. It’s smooth and thick, not watery, and it coats the pasta the way a good Mac & Cheese should. No powdered cheese shortcuts. No artificial flavors that taste off. Just a straightforward, honest cheese sauce over tender pasta.
Chicken Salad Chick Mac & Cheese Calories
If you’re watching your intake, it’s worth knowing what you’re working with before you order. This side is on the more indulgent end of the menu, but it’s a side dish, not a main course. When you’re pairing it with a lighter chicken salad scoop, the overall meal stays balanced.
At $3.59 per serving, the Chicken Salad Chick Mac & Cheese contains 350 calories. Most of those calories come from fat and carbohydrates, which makes sense given the cheese sauce and pasta base. Here’s a quick look at the calorie breakdown:
| Nutrient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Calories | 350 |
| Calories from Fat | ~144 |
| Calories from Carbs | ~132 |
| Calories from Protein | ~56 |
| Serving Size | 4 oz |
Is the Mac & Cheese Vegetarian or Vegan?
This is a question I get a lot, especially from people ordering for a group with mixed dietary needs. The short answer is: it works for vegetarians, but not for vegans. The Mac & Cheese contains no meat of any kind. There’s no chicken, no bacon, no meat-based broth in the sauce. It’s vegetarian-friendly, and that makes it a solid option when you’re feeding a crowd with different eating habits. At events and catering setups, this side tends to disappear fast because it appeals to almost everyone at the table.
Vegans, though, will want to skip it. The dish contains dairy and butter. The cheese sauce is built on real milk-based cheese, and there’s no plant-based version available. There’s no swap you can request at the counter. If you’re eating dairy-free, the Fresh Fruit side is your best bet from the menu. It’s clean, simple, and safe for most dietary lifestyles.
How the Mac & Cheese Compares to Other Sides
Choosing a side at Chicken Salad Chick isn’t just about calories. It’s about what works with the chicken salad you picked and how hungry you actually are. The Mac & Cheese sits on the heartier end of the side options. That’s not a bad thing. It just means you want to pair it thoughtfully.
The sides at Chicken Salad Chick deserve as much attention as the chicken salads themselves. The Broccoli Salad features bacon, cheese, and raisins in a sweet dressing and works with nearly every flavor. The Grape Salad uses red grapes in cream cheese dressing topped with brown sugar and pecans. The Mac & Cheese is creamy comfort food that pairs best with savory chicken salad flavors.
Here’s how they compare side by side:
| Side | Calories | Fat | Protein | Carbs | Served |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mac & Cheese | 350 | 16g | 14g | 33g | Hot |
| Broccoli Salad | 170 | 13g | 6g | 10g | Cold |
| Grape Salad | ~250 | 14g | 3g | 29g | Cold |
| Pasta Salad | ~200 | 9g | 5g | 26g | Cold |
| Fresh Fruit | ~60 | 0g | 1g | 15g | Cold |
The Mac & Cheese is the only hot side on the menu, which already sets it apart. On a cooler day, or when you want something that feels like a real meal, it wins. If you’re looking to keep things lighter, the Broccoli Salad is the smarter call at 170 calories.
