Garden-fresh, basil and parmesan infused sandwich is the perfect lunchtime taste at the start of spring

March 14, 2008 // Franchising.com // Burlington, Vt. – Prepare your taste buds for a trip to the Mediterranean with the new Primo Pesto Chicken sandwich from Bruegger's. Available for a limited time only, the Primo Pesto is an Italian-inspired recipe prepared on a freshly baked Ciabatta roll and layered with warm, tender slices of premium white chicken breast, green leaf lettuce, zesty roasted red peppers, crisp red onions, and is topped off with our basil parmesan pesto sauce.

Originating from the warm Mediterranean regions of Northern Italy, our pesto is made from fresh basil leaves, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and garlic. "The new Primo Pesto combines healthful, chicken breast with bright, garden-fresh flavor, and it's different from any of the other flavors on our sandwich menu. Our guests are in for a treat," said Bruegger's Chief Executive Officer James J. Greco.

The Primo Pesto sandwich joins the Bruegger's menu with two other delectable chicken sandwiches: a Cuban Chicken Sandwich and the Roadhouse Chicken Sandwich.
