In Palm Harbor, guests can look forward to: Spearheaded by experienced multi-unit franchise owners Paul and Linsay Rohr, the first of the two new restaurants will open in Palm Harbor at 35271 US Highway 19 N on Wednesday, July 23, followed by a second location in Clearwater at 2140 Gulf to Bay Blvd. on Tuesday, August 5. To celebrate, the first 100 guests in line at each location on opening day will receive free chicken salad for a year . * ATLANTA, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chicken Salad Chick , the nation's only fast-casual chicken salad restaurant concept, is expanding its presence in Florida with the re-opening of its Palm Harbor location and the grand opening of a new restaurant in Clearwater, bringing the brand's total number of locations in the state to 40. Fast casual concept celebrates Palm Harbor re-opening on July 23 and expands with a new Clearwater restaurant opening August 5 — both locations will offer free chicken salad for a year to the first 100 guests. Story Continues Before becoming franchise owners, Paul and Linsay Rohr both worked in the medical industry. In 2015, the husband-and-wife duo took a leap of faith and opened their first Chicken Salad Chick location in Palm Harbor, marking their debut in the restaurant industry. Their passion for people and admiration for the brand's mission to "spread joy, enrich lives, and serve others" inspired them to make the transition. Although the original Palm Harbor location closed earlier this year due to a fire, support from both the brand and local community has gotten them to where they are today. Now, it's set to reopen just two weeks ahead of the Clearwater grand opening, which will be the couple's sixth restaurant. In addition to Palm Harbor and Clearwater, the Rohrs currently operate four other Chicken Salad Chick locations throughout Florida, including Brooksville, Seminole, St. Petersburg, and Trinity. "We're beyond thrilled to be bringing the Chick back to the Palm Harbor community and to introduce the brand to Clearwater residents," said Paul Rohr, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chicks of Palm Harbor and Clearwater. "For us, expanding means more than serving great food – it's about building a welcoming place where people feel at home. We believe Clearwater is the heart of Pinellas County, and ever since we opened our first location back in 2015, we've been waiting for the right opportunity to join this community. We believe we've finally found the perfect spot and can't wait to open our doors there." Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new locations offer in-restaurant and outdoor patio dining, drive-thru, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options. "We're excited to be reopening in Palm Harbor and celebrate the launch of our 40th location in Florida this summer," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "It's incredibly rewarding to continue growing our footprint alongside franchise partners like the Rohrs. For the past decade, they've shown unwavering dedication to their communities across Western and Central Florida, and their genuine passion for the brand doesn't go unnoticed. We're confident Chicken Salad Chick will soon become a favorite dining spot in the Palm Harbor and Clearwater communities." Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Rohrs and the Chicken Salad Chick brand, which established the CSC Foundation to support CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks with fundraisers throughout the year. As part of pre-opening Friends & Family events in Palm Harbor and Clearwater, the Rohrs will be raising money for Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization providing life-changing scholarships to fallen soldiers and first responders' family members. This is a cause near and dear to the Rohrs, as Paul is a veteran of the U.S. Army, and each year he and Linsay raise money in their restaurants for the organization. To-date, they have donated over $200,000 to the organization. Chicken Salad Chick of Palm Harbor will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30am – 8pm and Chicken Salad Chick of Clearwater will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30am – 8:30pm.

The Best High-Protein Lunch for Weight Loss, According to Dietitians
Reviewed by Dietitian Mandy Enright, M.S., RDN, RYTKey Points This high-protein chicken salad sandwich provides energy and keeps you feeling full longer. Tasty ingredients like Greek yogurt and sun-dried tomatoes make this healthy lunch fun and satisfying to eat. You can enjoy this meal in different ways—on bread, in a salad or stuffed in veggies—so it never gets may come a time in your life or that of a loved one where weight loss becomes a goal. It might have nothing to do with vanity, either. The emotional and physical toll of daily life can affect our health and weight. Whether it's overeating as a way to cope with the loss of a job, or bingeing on junk food to manage the stress of taking care of family, we often turn to food for comfort. Luckily, there are strategies that can help you manage both your weight and your overall health. One of the best weight-loss strategies is choosing to enjoy meals rich in nutrients that provide energy and promote satiety. One of my favorite lunch recipes that leans into that strategy is this Marry Me Chicken Salad Sandwich. Here's why I think it's the best lunch for weight loss. Why the Marry Me Chicken Salad Sandwich Is the Best Lunch for Weight Loss It's High in Protein One reason I love this lunch is that it's packed with protein. It provides more than 40 grams of protein per sandwich, thanks to the chicken and Greek yogurt. But why is protein so important for weight loss? Christy Wilson, RDN, says, 'When it comes to weight loss, protein helps keep us feeling full and satisfied long after we've eaten.' Wilson cites a recent study where participants did lose weight when protein was 16% to 45% of total calories consumed. High-protein diets appeared to increase satiety and energy expenditure while improving body composition by increasing the amount of fat-free mass. It's Ultra-Satisfying The protein makes the meal satisfying, but so does how it's packaged. The chicken salad, for starters, is made with flavorful ingredients like tangy Greek yogurt and slightly sweet sun-dried tomatoes. There's also the arugula, which adds color and a bright, peppery bite. Finally, the whole-wheat bread provides texture as well as a variety of nutrients, including fiber, which benefits health and boosts satiety. Each bite is as delicious and satisfying as the next! It Can Be Enjoyed in a Variety of Ways I love meals that can be reinterpreted or modified for enjoyment in other ways. This chicken salad sandwich is one of those meals. For example, during the warmer summer months, I prefer to serve the chicken salad over lettuce and include other seasonal vegetables as part of the meal. In the fall and winter, I'll enjoy it as a sandwich but swap the bread for sourdough or something whole-grain and hearty from my local bakery. Or I'll stuff the chicken salad into a bell pepper and broil for a few minutes to enjoy it warm. Being able to reinvent the dish means I can enjoy it several ways without getting bored! Other Things to Do to Help Support Weight Loss It's important to consider the food you eat when it comes to weight loss, but there are other things you can do, even during lunchtime, to help. Enjoy your lunch with co-workers: Eating by yourself or sitting at your desk staring at a screen is fine occasionally, but if you have the opportunity, I suggest dining with co-workers. Sitting down and talking with people during your meal gives you an excuse to slow down and enjoy your food while enjoying the company of others. This is good for digestion as well as boosting your mood—both of which can help with weight loss. Take a walk: Either before or after your lunch, consider going on a walk. The benefits of movement go beyond weight loss, as research has proven exercise makes you feel good and gives you energy. If a walk isn't an option, consider finding some stairs to conquer, or just take a few laps around the office or your home. Sip water: Hydration plays a powerful role in weight management. That's because the opposite, dehydration, can trick your mind into thinking you're hungry versus thirsty. Good hydration means you'll feel better too. Try a mindful reset: Use your lunch break as a time to hit the mental 'reset' button. Use a wellness app to find a quick mediation to help you relax or do some deep-breathing exercises to clear your mind. Taking a moment to center yourself can also prevent mindless eating or overeating and help you listen to your body's cues for hunger. Our Expert Take There are plenty of strategies you can use when looking to lose weight. A great one is enjoying a lunch that's delicious and satisfying. Choosing something high in protein that includes a variety of ingredients and textures is a great option, like my favorite Marry Me Chicken Salad Sandwich. But remember, it's not the only way. Be sure to include movement and socialization time in your plan. Stay hydrated and carve out some time for a midday reset. And remember, says Wintana Kiros, RDN, LDN: While protein is the foundation that helps you feel full, preserves your muscle and keeps you strong during weight loss, you also need fiber-rich carbs, healthy fats and anti-inflammatory foods like colorful plants to bring balance. So don't exclude these other foods, she says. 'Think of protein as your anchor, not your entire ship.' Read the original article on EATINGWELL

A chicken salad tartine with fruit and care on the side
This column comes from the Eat Voraciously newsletter. Sign up here to get one weeknight dinner recipe, tips for substitutions, techniques and more in your inbox Monday through Thursday. In the summer of 2024, I was struggling to make sense of my life as a new mother. Every day was filled with uneasy wonder: How did I get here? What was I doing, and why did this new facet of my life, this ancient human experience, seem impossible? One day, I remember putting my son in his crib for a nap and feeling so grateful that I could now, finally, lie down in bed and stare at the ceiling. I cried with relief, then guilt, then sadness. Eventually, I wiped away the tears, and, because I knew it might make me feel better, I opened a food delivery app and started to order lunch. Moments later, there was a knock at the door. When I opened it, I found a blue-and-white paper plate holding an open-faced chicken salad sandwich with mango on the side. Get the recipe: Chicken Salad Tartines My dear neighbor, a mother of three, had made me lunch. The mango seemed to glow in the dim hallway light, its fragrance mingling with the smell of the pungent, herb-flecked dressing on the chicken. I brought the food back to bed and ate it in blissful silence. Then, I cried again. This time it was out of deep gratitude and love. I rummaged around for my phone to send my neighbor a thank-you note. She had texted: 'Chicken salad with lots of red onion — because I like it that way, and because when you eat a lot of raw onion people leave you the hell alone!!! ❤️ Love you!' Just as no two people are the same, no two pregnancies or birthing experiences are the same. Without sufficient support, any mother's individual experience can be extremely isolating. It was only when I started to notice the care other mothers offered to me and each other that I started to feel like maybe, just maybe, I could do this. For a lot of reasons, I never thought I would become a parent. But here I was, and here, too, I eventually discovered, was a club I now belonged to, one full of generosity and reciprocity, of unspoken care and deep love: motherhood. Inspired by my neighbor's chicken salad sandwich, here's a recipe for Chicken Salad Tartines. There's red onion and cucumber for crunch and flavor, plus tarragon and lots of lemon. Yogurt and mayonnaise keep it light and creamy. I highly recommend fresh, juicy fruit on the side for a burst of sweetness. Get the recipe: Chicken Salad Tartines
