Habit Burger & Grill Brings Back Fan-Favorite Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Habit Burger & Grill, the California-based restaurant company renowned for its award-winning Charburgers chargrilled over an open flame, signature sandwiches, fresh salads, and more, announces today the return of its fan-favorite Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich, available starting September 4 for a limited time at participating Habit locations.

This seasonal sandwich features a freshly chargrilled chicken breast topped with melted Parmesan cheese, juicy tomato, crisp green leaf lettuce, and a zesty basil pesto aioli, all sandwiched between Parmesan-encrusted sourdough bread.

"We're pumped to have the Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich back on the menu - it's easily one of our most craveable seasonal items," said the brand’s Director of Culinary Innovation, Jason Triail. "The way the juicy chargrilled chicken pairs with that creamy, herby pesto and the savory Parmesan-crusted sourdough is just next level. I can't wait for our guests to sink their teeth into it."

But that's not all - Habit Burger & Grill is also rolling out the red carpet for the triumphant return of its award-winning Roasted Garlic Cauliflower side. Freshly roasted to order and seasoned with the brand's signature spice blend, this limited-time side is served up with tangy garlic aioli and a refreshing lemon wedge. The Roasted Garlic Cauliflower was the proud recipient of the prestigious Menu Master's Award in 2023, cementing its place as an essential part of the brand’s seasonal limited time offers.

While Habit Burger & Grill may be best known for its award-winning Charburgers, the brand offers a sunny, diverse menu of handcrafted sandwiches, fresh salads, handspun milkshakes and sides. The return of the Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich and the Roasted Garlic Cauliflower reinforces Habit Burger & Grill’s commitment to being an “& brand” by serving fresh and flavorful options beyond just their signature Charburgers.
