A Chick-fil-explained the decision to ditch the menu item to Southern Living

“The decision to remove Chicken Salad from the menu was a difficult one,"  Chick-fil-A spokeswoman Leigh Jackson told Southern Living. "We know that many of our customers loved our Chicken Salad, but we have also heard from guests that they are looking for new tastes and fresh flavors on the menu in our restaurants."
