At 360 calories, Dunkin' Donuts' Grilled Chicken Flatbread Sandwich is also the latest addition to the brand's DDSMART® menu of better-for-you items. Dunkin' Donuts' multigrain flatbread, with 16 grams of whole grain, has earned the Basic Stamp from the Whole Grains Council. The Grilled Chicken Flatbread Sandwich is available nationwide at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants beginning today.

Dunkin' Donuts' Grilled Chicken Flatbread Sandwich follows the brand's introduction last year of two new chicken sandwiches. Dunkin' Donuts' Barbecue Chicken and Bacon Ranch Chicken Sandwiches are made with a tender, lightly-breaded chicken breast topped with cheddar cheese, barbecue or ranch sauce and served on a French roll. Dunkin' Donuts' Bakery Sandwich varieties also include Ham & Cheese, Turkey, Cheddar & Bacon, Chicken Salad, and Tuna Salad sandwiches, available on a French roll, bagel, or croissant, as well as Chicken Salad and Tuna Salad Wraps. All bakery sandwiches are served oven-toasted and made-to-order all day long at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants nationwide.

"Chicken is one of the most popular choices for lunch, and when we launched our breaded chicken last year, the feedback from our guests was incredible. With the new Grilled Chicken Flatbread Sandwich, we continue our commitment to expanding the breadth of our all-day choices by introducing a new, leaner chicken sandwich we believe our busy, on-the-go guests will really enjoy as well," said John Costello, President, Global Marketing and Innovation at Dunkin' Brands. "As our brand grows and more and more guests visit our shops in the afternoon and evening, providing the widest variety of new and innovative all-day menu items remains a key to our continued success and differentiation."

June is National Iced Tea Month, and for a perfect accompaniment to Dunkin' Donuts' new Grilled Chicken Flatbread Sandwich, Dunkin' Donuts restaurants nationwide serve freshly-brewed Iced Tea. A crisp, cold and convenient beverage choice any time of day, Dunkin' Donuts' delicious Iced Tea is made-to-order, unsweetened or sweetened, with or without a fresh lemon. Earlier this year, Dunkin' Donuts launched Iced Green Tea, as well as a cool and unique variety of fruity Iced Tea flavors, including Blueberry, Raspberry and Peach.
