What comes with the Skinny Chicken Burger

  1. 01

    Grilled chicken breast

    The tender chicken breast provides the warm, savoury centre of the burger and its main source of protein.

  2. 02

    Soft bun

    A soft bun holds the chicken, lettuce and tomato together, contrasting with the crisp vegetables inside.

  3. 03

    Crisp lettuce

    The lettuce adds crunch within the bun, giving a crisp contrast to the tender chicken breast.

  4. 04

    Fresh tomato

    Fresh tomato accompanies the lettuce in the bun, keeping the burger's filling focused on chicken and fresh vegetables.

  5. 05

    Side salad

    Crisp greens replace the chips, making the side a fresh contrast to the warm chicken burger.

  6. 06

    Light vinaigrette dressing

    The light vinaigrette brings a zesty flavour to the salad, contrasting with the savoury grilled chicken.

The dish

What the Skinny Chicken Burger is like

The Skinny Chicken Burger combines tender, savoury grilled chicken with crisp vegetables and a soft bun. Lettuce gives the filling some crunch, while fresh tomato keeps the combination light and fresh. The contrast is straightforward: warm chicken at the centre, softer bread around it and crisp lettuce between bites. This is a chicken burger with a salad accompaniment, rather than a bunless version.

The side salad is the main distinction on the plate. Crisp greens and a light vinaigrette offer a zesty contrast to the chicken, with salad taking the place of chips. That makes it a useful choice when you want the familiar burger format but prefer a fresh side.

The Skinny Chicken Burger is worth considering if you want grilled chicken and would choose salad over chips.

Nutrition

Skinny Chicken Burger calories and nutrition

Share of a 2,000 kcal day980 kcal (49%)

As listed, before any extra sides, sauces or drinks.

The Skinny Chicken Burger contains 980 kcal, equivalent to about 49% of the 2,000 kcal daily reference intake. It is the sixth lowest calorie of the 11 items we track in this section in the burgers section we track. The chicken breast supplies protein, while the bun remains part of the meal despite the skinny name.

Salad replaces chips in the described serving, but extra sides, sauces and drinks change the total you consume. Adding a bowl of chips means ordering beyond that serving. If you change the dressing or add a drink, check the relevant nutrition information rather than treating the listed figure as your complete order.

Occasions

When to order the Skinny Chicken Burger

  • A lighter lunch

    Choose this when you want a chicken burger for lunch but prefer crisp greens and vinaigrette to a side of chips. The bun remains part of the meal.

  • Salad over chips

    This suits diners whose main preference is the accompaniment: the described plate comes with salad, so you need not choose a chip-based serving to get a burger.

  • Grilled chicken fans

    The tender grilled breast makes this a sensible choice if you want chicken with lettuce and tomato, rather than choosing the Fried Buttermilk Chicken Burger.

Ordering tips

Tips for ordering the Skinny Chicken Burger

  • Check the price at your chosen pub before ordering, since £7.49 is a typical guide price rather than a fixed charge across locations.

  • Choose this for its salad accompaniment, but remember that the skinny description does not mean the burger is served without a bun.

  • Ask whether the burger qualifies for a meal with an eligible drink, then compare that option with ordering your preferred drink separately.

  • Check current allergen information for gluten-containing cereals and sesame, and confirm any requested changes with staff before placing your order.

  • Use the Wetherspoon app or order at the bar, checking that your selection is the salad-served Skinny Chicken Burger.
