Chicken

What Chipotle says is in it

What is in Chicken, by the brand’s own statement: Black Pepper, Chipotle Chili, Chicken, Cumin, Garlic, Oregano, Salt, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Distilled Vinegar and Water, ten ingredients in all. On chicken the ingredients page says: “To prep our grilled chicken, we marinate it overnight in our smoky, spicy chipotle pepper adobo, and then grill it until it’s perfectly charred with a subtle caramelized flavor. And when it comes to chicken, we don’t bawk around. We currently source only Responsibly Raised birds, which in the U.S. means they’re fed a 100% vegetarian diet with no antibiotics, but we’re always striving to raise our standards even higher.”

On 25 September 2026 Chicken was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC. That makes it a core item, on every open menu read.

The record against a day

Per 4 oz, Chicken carries 180 calories, 32 g of protein, 310 mg of sodium and 0 g of carbohydrate on its calculator record. That is 9 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 13 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium daily value. Cholesterol is not in the calculator; the printed sheet’s row for Chicken gives 125 mg for the same portion.

Five more portions carry their own records: kid’s portion, 2 oz at 90 calories; half portion at 90 calories (calories only); extra portion, double protein at 360 calories (calories only); side of chicken, the High Protein Cup, 4 oz at 180 calories; family meal portion, 8 oz, serves 2 at 360 calories (calories only). The build on an entree page sums whichever portion the format serves: a kid’s meal counts the kid’s portion.

What it costs

Chicken is included in every entree at the format’s portion; what the menus price is a second portion: $4.00 at the median on a burrito, in a bowl or on a salad ($3.35 to $5.10, 368 restaurants) and $7.00 at the median in a family meal ($6.00 to $8.00, 368 restaurants). The brand’s double protein offer terms of 27 August 2026 put it this way: “Mixed protein orders will be charged for the higher-priced protein.”
