The 15 Best Chick-fil-A Breakfast Menu Items Ranked

15. Fruit Cup

Simple and straight to the point, the fruit cup is a refreshing and nutritious Chick-fil-A breakfast item that’s perfect for eating on the go. It's also considered one of the healthiest items at Chick-fil-A, and it goes without saying that this is one of the best vegan fast food meals to order if you’re a plant-based eater looking for a quick snack that doesn’t derail your eating plan. 

Each fruit cup includes a colorful medley of red and green apples, strawberry slices, blueberries and mandarin segments. You can choose from small, medium and large sizes depending on how hungry you are. 

No matter what size you pick, you’ll be getting lots of health benefits. As the American Heart Association notes, it’s important to add fruit to your diet, as you’ll be filling your body with essential nutrients that may help prevent illnesses such as cancer and heart disease.

As tasty and refreshing as this meal is, we found that the breakfast menu at Chick-fil-A offers other options that provide greater value for your money. Another reason why we ranked this last on our list is that we love filling our stomachs with a substantial amount of protein first thing in the morning, and the fruit cup doesn’t offer much of it.

14. Hash Browns

Hash browns are a staple breakfast item at most restaurants, and Chick-fil-A doesn’t fail to deliver this popular side. At this point, potatoes and breakfast go hand in hand, and these hash browns get the job done, especially if you’re looking for some of the best vegetarian fast food to start your day with.

They’re a cheap fast food option worth buying if you’re not looking to splash out and make a perfect side to other items on the Chick-fil-A breakfast menu. When snacking on these delicious hash browns, you can expect a crunchy texture, along with 270 calories, 18 grams of fat and 23 grams of carbs per serving (if you’re concerned about the nutritional value).

Once again, the main reason we ranked this Chick-fil-A breakfast item so far down is due to the lack of protein and the fact that they aren’t a complete meal. Plus, without a sauce to eat them with, they’re a bit bland in comparison to some of the best Chick-fil-A breakfast items, which offer great flavors thanks to a variety of ingredients. However, you can choose from eight different sauces as an extra when ordering these hash browns.

13. Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit

There’s no shortage of biscuit sandwiches at Chick-fil-A, and the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit is one proud member of that family. This filling sandwich features a pork sausage patty, cheese and a fluffy folded egg served on the usual buttermilk biscuit. When you bite into this biscuit sandwich, you're met with a flavor party, courtesy of the sausage spices and the classic taste of American cheese.

However, while the variety of flavors is great, we did a taste test on each ingredient separately and found that the patty seemed less succulent than we would have preferred — almost artificial in texture. We also felt that 13th was a justifiable position for this Chick-fil-A breakfast sandwich because each bite was a little on the dry side. 

Luckily, the range of sauces on offer to pair with this meal to combat that. And speaking of extras, you can also customize this Chick-fil-A breakfast item by adding additional fillings, including bacon, tomatoes or pickles.

12. Sausage, Egg & Cheese Muffin

The sausage, egg and cheese muffin is an excellent choice for a hearty Chick-fil-A breakfast, and as you can tell, we preferred it over its biscuit counterpart. The reason for this is that the muffin held together better than the biscuit did, and because it wasn’t as dry. 

Just like the abovementioned meal, this Chick-fil-A breakfast item features a savory pork sausage that is lightly seasoned and comes paired with American cheese and eggs, but it’s the English muffin that makes all the difference here. Taste-wise, there are hints of spice from the sausage, mainly pepper, which complements the mild taste of the egg. 

If the flavors aren’t exciting enough for you, you can add extra ingredients to this meal. Once again, just like the biscuit version of this Chick-fil-A breakfast item, there is a wide variety of sauces and foods to choose from, including jalapeños, egg whites and extra sausage.

11. Spicy Chicken Biscuit

Once you get nearer the end of this list, you’ll realize that we rank the best Chick-fil-A breakfast orders based on the inclusion of chicken instead of pork like bacon or sausage. Simply put, we prefer the former because it’s juicier and tastier, and we love the crunch from the coating. If you share our sentiments and enjoy a fiery kick, then we suggest starting your day off with the spicy chicken biscuit. 

This succulent sandwich features a boneless chicken breast with a tangy twist, seasoned with peppers, freshly breaded and served on a buttermilk biscuit. Spice lovers are in for a real treat, and the best part is you can customize the flavor profile by adding honey to your spicy biscuit for a savory-sweet taste. 

The only reason that this Chick-fil-A breakfast item doesn’t rank a few spots higher, and closer to the other chicken-based items, is that we felt it lacked toppings. Yet, if you love spicy fried chicken, this will probably be your favorite Chick-fil-A breakfast dish. 

10. Hash Brown Scramble Burrito

Whose idea was it to combine hash browns and scrambled eggs inside a burrito? We’re not sure, but we’re also not complaining! 

This Chick-fil-A breakfast item offers everything you’d want in a hearty morning meal: crispy hash browns, Chick-fil-A nuggets and scrambled eggs, together with Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, all wrapped inside a warm flour tortilla with a side of jalapeño salsa. Plus, you can add extra sauces to the mixture if you wish, or customize it with a variety of fillings, including bacon, spicy chicken and grilled nuggets.

As irresistible as this Chick-fil-A breakfast burrito is, its nutritional value is less impressive, packing a whopping 700 calories and 40 grams of fat per burrito. That, and the uneven proportions of ingredients, are the main reasons we ranked it 10th on our list. It’s not something you’d want to eat every day, but it’s worth a try if you’re planning on consuming fewer calories throughout the rest of your day.

9. Hash Brown Scramble Bowl

If you were intrigued by the flavors of the burrito but prefer fewer calories in your morning meals, then you’ll agree with our placement of the hash brown scramble bowl as the next best option on the Chick-fil-A breakfast menu. 

Like its wrapped-up counterpart, this unique combination features scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns and a cheesy blend of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese. Plus, it can also be customized to suit your taste preferences with various fillings.

It sits comfortably in the middle of our list because the proportions were better in the bowl than in the wrap. It’s also easier to appreciate the flavors of each separate food when they aren’t tightly packed together. This is definitely a Chick-fil-A breakfast item you’ll want to enjoy sitting down, so pull up a chair and savor this protein-packed dish (29 grams, to be precise). 

8. Berry Parfait

There’s nothing quite like a delicious parfait to kickstart your day, and our experience is that Chick-fil-A does it quite well. Cementing itself right in the middle of our list, this tasty Chick-fil-A breakfast item features a creamy vanilla bean base, fresh fruit and your choice of topping. 

For the health-conscious diners among us, this Chick-fil-A breakfast item ticks the boxes of being a low-sodium fast food option and a relatively high-protein parfait. You can make this healthy fast food breakfast even healthier by choosing the cookie crumbs topping over granola, as it has less fat, calories and sugar. 

As nutritious and delicious as it is, we felt that 8th was a suitable spot for the parfait, as, after all, this is a ranking of the overall best items on the breakfast menu at Chick-fil-A, not the healthiest.

7. Egg White Grill

With less fat than most items on this list, the egg white grill is a great Chick-fil-A breakfast option that doesn’t skimp on flavor. It’s one of our favorites because it’s a great low-calorie fast food option for health-conscious eaters, but if you’d like to add to it, there’s a variety of sauces and extra fillings to choose from. 

As is, it features grilled chicken breast, fluffy egg whites and a slice of American cheese, all nestled in a toasted multigrain English muffin. The grilled chicken adds a savory, smoky flavor, while the egg whites and cheese create a light texture contrast.

We only prefer grilled over fried chicken from fast food restaurants on rare occasions, which is why this Chick-fil-A breakfast ranks high, but doesn’t crack a top-five placement.

6. Bacon, Egg & Cheese Muffin 

Bacon might not be for everyone (or so we've heard), but this breakfast staple finds a home on a soft English muffin as part of the bacon, egg and cheese muffin.

In it, you'll find a fluffy folded egg nestled neatly between strips of smoked applewood bacon and American cheese. If you feel like indulging in extras, you have your choice of tomato, pickles, sausage and a variety of other options, including sauces and jams.

If you’re watching what you eat, this is the muffin you should go for out of all the muffin options at Chick-fil-A, as it’s the lowest in terms of calories, fat and carbs. However, as much as we enjoyed it, the drawback is its protein content, offering only 16 grams. If you’re looking for a Chick-fil-A breakfast muffin with significantly higher amounts of the macronutrient, you’ll find it in the top five.

5. Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit

Switch out the muffin with a biscuit, and you have our first top-five feature — the delicious bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Now, we know you might be confused as to why the biscuit ranks higher than the muffin here, when that wasn’t the case earlier in this guide. However, there are two simple reasons for this. 

Firstly, bacon doesn’t stand as tall as a patty, so the entire sandwich with this combination of ingredients is easier to bite into. Secondly, the rich flavor of the buttermilk biscuit is better suited to bacon than to pork.

Overall, there’s nothing quite like the smell of crispy bacon in the morning, and this Chick-fil-A breakfast sandwich doesn’t disappoint. Made with smoked applewood bacon, a fluffy folded egg and cheese on a buttermilk biscuit, you can’t go wrong with everyone’s favorite breakfast combo to start your day. 

4. Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit

You might be thinking to yourself, “This is a rather bland Chick-fil-A breakfast menu item to be ranked so high.” However, we have a few valid reasons for our judgment that go beyond taste. 

Speaking of taste, though, you can look forward to starting your morning off right with a meal that combines perfectly seasoned, hand-breaded chicken breast with a soft, buttery biscuit. While it is delicious, this Chick-fil-A breakfast menu item leans more towards being a treat rather than a macro-friendly fast food meal due to its higher calorie and fat content. 

The one saving grace is that it’s a high-protein fast food meal, offering 19 grams of the macronutrient per chicken biscuit. Okay, there’s another plus — it’s also one of the cheapest fast food breakfast items on the market, so it’s the kind of Chick-fil-A breakfast treat that won’t break the bank. 

3. Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis

There’s a first time for everything, and breakfast chicken nuggets are about to be one of them. As you might expect, this is another case where simplicity doesn’t necessarily mean having a bad rap. 

If you liked the sound of the chicken biscuit, this lower-calorie Chick-fil-A breakfast item should get you fired up. It features juicy, bite-sized nuggets nestled inside pillowy soft mini yeast rolls with a honey butter spread. Sounds delightful, doesn’t it? 

If you think this Chick-fil-A breakfast item might be too dry for your liking, you have a choice of 11 sauces and jams that can be added as extras. And if you’re feeling extra hungry or sharing with someone else, opt for the larger portion of 10 Minis over four. That’s exactly why the Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis cracked a spot in our top three, because they’re perfect for gatherings with loved ones.

2. Chicken, Egg & Cheese Muffin

This list of breakfast items at Chick-fil-A wouldn’t be complete without another breakfast muffin on it, and the one that stands head and shoulders above the rest is the chicken, egg and cheese muffin. This combination of chicken, cheese and egg is nothing new, but this time it’s served on a delicious English muffin instead of a biscuit, and we’re here for the swap. 

With 410 calories, 18 grams of fat and 27 grams of protein, this muffin is relatively balanced, especially with its high protein content. However, if you're watching your fat intake, we suggest having this as more of a treat than an everyday breakfast option.

Although this exact tasty combination helped to land this Chick-fil-A breakfast at number two on our list, you can customize it with a wide range of foods and sauces to make it just to your liking.

1. Chicken, Egg & Cheese Biscuit

Yes, we know we pointed out the muffin-for-sandwich swap being a plus, but in our eyes, nothing beats the classic combination of chicken and egg on a buttermilk biscuit.

This tasty breakfast meal clocks in with 27 grams of protein, 28 grams of fat and 550 calories per sandwich. While the protein count is decent, it’s not hard to tell that this breakfast item is more of a treat than a healthy option, but it’s more than okay to treat yourself once in a while.

If you’re feeling adventurous, ask for your chicken to be replaced with a spicy chicken filet instead — it’s part of the Chick-fil-A secret menu, so the person taking your order should know what to do. This easy swap turns it into one of the best fast food chicken sandwiches, in our opinion, and it also lowers the fat and calorie count.

However, even as the original (with or without the additional extras), the chicken, egg and cheese biscuit ranks as the best breakfast from Chick-fil-A because it ticks all the boxes: It’s filling, it has the ideal combination of soft and crunchy textures, and it features a flavor combination that works every time.

What Does Chick-fil-A Have for Breakfast?

You may (or may not) be an expert on the meals that this powerhouse chicken fast food chain serves, but if you’re visiting with someone who has never been before, they’ll probably wonder, “What does Chick-fil-A serve for breakfast?” The short answer is: a whole lot!
