The Pimento Cheese BLT is the item that surprises people twice: once because pimento cheese turns out to work astonishingly well with bacon, and again when they find out what it costs them in calories.
What it is
Chicken Salad Chick's house pimento cheese — sharp cheddar whipped smooth with pimentos — built into a BLT with bacon, lettuce and tomato. No chicken salad involved, which makes it one of the few substantial options for someone who does not want mayonnaise-bound chicken.
You choose the bread, and that choice matters more here than anywhere else on the menu.

This is the heaviest sandwich on the menu
On a croissant, the Pimento Cheese BLT is reported as high as 940 calories — the single heaviest item Chicken Salad Chick sells. Build it into a meal with a bowl of mac & cheese and a 32 oz sweet tea and you clear 1,880. On white bread with fresh fruit and unsweet tea, the same sandwich lands near 680. The bread and the side are doing all the work — see the nutrition guide.
Is it worth ordering?
If you like pimento cheese, yes — it is one of the genuinely distinctive things on this menu and nothing else on the board tastes like it. If you are indifferent to pimento cheese, the Bacon Cheddar Melt at $10.79 gives you a similar bacon-and-cheese experience with chicken salad underneath and around 290 fewer calories on the croissant build.
Ask for the spicy pimento cheese version if your location carries it. The jalapeño version is consistently rated above the original by regulars and costs the same.
