Chicken tortilla soup is generally only available in the winter, but this seasonal option is one of their highest protein offerings. A bowl of chicken tortilla soup makes a warming and nutrient-dense meal, filled with veggies and plenty of protein from shredded chicken breast, beans, chicken broth, and dairy. A cup of tortilla soup on the side is also a good way to boost any meal with 24 grams of additional protein.

The only limited-time menu item on the list, Chick-fil-A's Smokehouse BBQ sandwich packs in the protein with perfectly seasoned breaded chicken breast, Colby Jack cheese, and smoky bacon, topped with zesty Smokehouse BBQ sauce.
And while this sandwich isn't on the permanent menu, I had to include it on this list as it comes in two other equally delicious, high-protein variations, including their grilled chicken filet or spicy filet, which have 38 and 40 grams of protein, respectively. Grab it while you can!

On top of being one of the best sources of protein, Chick-fil-A's grilled chicken nuggets are also one of the lowest calorie items on the menu. A box of 12 packs 38 grams of protein and just 200 calories, and you can also get an 8 count for 25 grams of protein with just 130 calories. You'll probably want a low-calorie dip to pair them with, too, so opt for the zesty buffalo sauce, which comes at just 25 calories per packet.
5. Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich

- 520 Calories
- 22g Fat
- 45g Carbs

- 36g Fat
- 46g Carbs
- 2g Sugar

This hearty breakfast burrito stuffed with hash browns, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese is usually made with chicken nuggets, but swapping them out with a grilled chicken filet adds more protein and reduces the calories for a healthier meal.
7. Cobb Salad with Grilled Filet
Nutritional Info:
- 690 Calories

Ordering the Cobb salad with grilled filet instead of the usual chicken nuggets results in an equally delicious salad that's a lot healthier. It comes with plenty of protein from sliced hard-boiled eggs and shredded cheese, plus nutritious mixed greens, roasted corn, and grape tomatoes.
The avocado lime ranch dressing adds over 300 calories, so if you want to cut back, get it with light Italian dressing or light balsamic vinaigrette for 25 and 80 calories, respectively. Or you can get it to go and use one of these low calorie salad dressings.
8. Spicy Southwest Salad
