First off, you newbies should know that this fast-food brand isn’t actually Swiss. It’s Canadian, and it was founded way back in 1954. The brand name comes from how their locations tend to feature Swiss chalet architectural details.
If you’re ever in a Swiss Chalet, what should you get? For newbies, these are the recommended items:
Rotisserie Chicken
This is the signature item that the brand is famous for. It’s brined and coated in seasoned butter, and the taste is amazing.
Go with the special Quarter Chicken Dinner, and you’ll get a roasted chicken breast or leg, along with a side dish, a bread roll, and the iconic Chalet sauce. Or, you can have your rotisserie chicken with roasted green beans, grilled mushrooms, and some mushroom rice.
Either way, you’re getting a proper introduction to the Swiss Chalet rotisserie chicken. If this is the first time you’ll try it, you’ll most likely love it.
Chalet Butter Chicken with Jasmine Rice
If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, then do it the Indian way. Here, they dip the butter chicken in some creamy curry sauce to make it more exciting. They also add some cayenne pepper and Garam masala ginger to boost the heat, though the dish come with some plain yogurt to temper the spice level. It’s also served with Jasmine rice.
Chalet Chicken Soup
This is great, especially with the cold winter season coming. It’s a classic comfort food for any occasion, actually, especially when you’re feeling down or lethargic.
It features some of the rotisserie chicken, along with some tender noodles and garden veggies. Add the savory chicken broth, and it won’t matter if you have the flu.
Spinach Chicken Salad
If you’re looking for some salad, Swiss Chalet has you covered. This salad features some slices of chilled and boneless chicken breast. It also has romaine lettuce, baby spinach, green and red onion, mandarin orange slices, and crispy tortilla chips.
Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
This is the salad you might be looking for instead. It offers romaine lettuce tossed with Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and croutons. Then they add the slices of grilled boneless chicken breast on top, and it’s truly a treat.
This also works as a snack. It’s garnished with some spring onions along with either tomato ketchup or some red-hot chili sauce. It’s then served with some tender vegetables, and it’s great with a cocktail.
Rotisserie Chicken Club Wrap
Lots of kids love this, and it’s also a favorite among adults who just want a sandwich equivalent. It’s especially delicious, with the distinct garlic mayo highlighted in the flavor profile.
Cheese Pierogies
