Arby's Chicken Cheesesteak Meal

About the Chicken Cheesesteak Meal

Arby's Chicken Cheesesteak Meal comes in at $11.99 with 1,260 cal, and it is the lowest priced cheesesteak combo on the menu. You get the Chicken Cheesesteak, which sets seasoned chicken and caramelized onions under melted white American Cooper cheese inside a toasted sesame seed sub roll, plus fries and a drink.

Chicken in place of steak gives the cheesesteak a lighter, milder flavor without losing the parts that make it work. The seasoned chicken is tender and savory, with a mild seasoning that lets the cheese and onions stand out more than they do on the beef version. Cooper cheese melts into a smooth, slightly sharp sauce that clings to every piece of chicken. Caramelized onions bring a deep, sweet softness, and the sesame seed roll adds a toasty crunch and a little nuttiness.

The result tastes like a cross between a chicken melt and a Philly, warm and gooey in the center and crisp at the edges of the bread. It looks the part too, with pale chicken, ribbons of golden onion and white cheese spilling out of a long seeded roll.

For anyone asking how much is the Chicken Cheesesteak Meal compared with the sandwich alone, the Chicken Cheesesteak costs $7.49 by itself. The combo adds a side of fries and a cup, which takes care of the whole lunch in one line on the receipt. The Chicken Cheesesteak Meal price shown here comes from an Austin, Texas Arby's, and your store can run a little higher or lower.

The Chicken Cheesesteak Meal calories land below the Angus beef combo, which makes this a smart switch for cheesesteak fans who want something a bit lighter without giving up melted cheese. Choose water or unsweet tea as the drink and the total stays closer to the sandwich and fries.

This meal works well for a quick lunch on a workday, a casual dinner when nobody wants to cook, or someone who does not eat red meat but still wants a hearty, cheesy sandwich. The mild flavor also makes it a friendly pick for teenagers and picky eaters.

For fries, Arby's carries Crinkle Fries with kosher salt and the classic curly cut. If you want lettuce and tomato on your sandwich, look at the Deluxe Chicken Cheesesteak Meal. Every version is listed on the Arby's cheesesteak menu, and a Strawberry Lemonade goes well with the creamy cheese.
