Yes, Chick-fil-A’s grilled chicken is gluten-free. However, it’s important to note that while the grilled chicken itself is gluten-free, cross-contamination can occur in the kitchen, so those with severe gluten sensitivities should exercise caution.
Lower in calories: Grilled chicken typically contains fewer calories than fried options.
Lower in fat: Grilled chicken has less fat content, particularly saturated fat, compared to fried chicken.
High in protein: Chicken is a good source of lean protein, which is essential for muscle building and repair.
No breading: The absence of breading reduces carbohydrate and calorie content.
Lower sodium option: Grilled chicken usually contains less sodium than fried versions, though it’s still present.
Source of essential nutrients: Chicken provides vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, selenium, and phosphorus.
May support weight management: As a lower-calorie option, it can be part of a balanced diet for those watching their weight.
Fewer trans fats: Grilled chicken avoids the trans fats that can be present in some fried foods.
May be easier to digest: Grilled foods are often easier on the digestive system compared to fried foods.Remember, the overall healthiness of a meal also depends on portion sizes and any sides or sauces consumed with the grilled chicken.
Those with severe chicken or poultry allergies
Individuals with a sensitivity or intolerance to MSG (monosodium glutamate), which is used in some Chick-fil-A marinades
People following a vegan or vegetarian diet
Those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity (due to potential cross-contamination in the kitchen)
Individuals on a very low-sodium diet (as restaurant foods often contain higher sodium levels)
People with specific religious dietary restrictions that prohibit consuming chicken or food prepared in certain ways
Those with severe dairy allergies (due to potential cross-contamination with other menu items containing dairy)
Individuals following a strict halal or kosher diet (as Chick-fil-A is not certified for these dietary requirements)
People with specific medical conditions that require them to avoid chicken or certain ingredients used in the preparation
Those trying to avoid consuming GMOs (as Chick-fil-A does not claim to be GMO-free)Remember that individual dietary needs and restrictions can vary, so it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist for personalized advice.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
