(Metro News Service) Protein, Please: The Protein Powerhouse is the Grilled Cheese of the Year, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a protein-packed masterpiece designed for the modern appetite. Featuring a creamy, dual-cheese combo and melted over 5 ounces of tender sliced chicken breast, it delivers more than 40 grams of protein and about 8 grams of fiber when paired with the right bread.

Served with a tangy Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard “powerhouse sauce” and pressed between golden, crispy bread, this grilled cheese isn’t your ordinary melt.
