Sandwiches are one of the most convenient foods because you can eat them any time of day and they don’t require utensils or even a plate! The Costco Kirkland Signature Chicken Sandwich with Sauce tray comes with four sandwiches and a Dijon mayo for dipping!
The Costco pre-made meal section has a few different sandwich/wrap options like the Kirkland Signature Asian Style Wraps, the Kirkland Signature Roasted Chicken & Swiss Roller Tray.
Location in Store
I bought these sandwiches in Kona, Hawaii (for an easy lunch) and found them in the refrigerated pre-made meal section. The item number is 28831.
Taste
I think these sandwiches are really tasty, I love the bread. It tastes similar to a ciabatta bread but with more grains and seeds. We ate them the day after they were packaged and found they tasted pretty fresh. There’s a good amount of chicken, the tomatoes are fresh, and there two kinds of cheese but you don’t really notice the difference in the cheese.
The two kinds of cheese are provolone and cheddar. Both sandwiches have the same other ingredients, tomato and lettuce. A dijon mayo comes as a sauce and is similar to an aioli. At first, I thought it was a ranch sauce. Overall the sandwiches are perfect for a beach day or lunch by the pool.
Cost
The tray comes with four sandwiches and costs $14.14 USD which isn’t bad considering the sandwiches are pretty big and can be cut in half. The cost is $5.99 per pound and depends on the tray’s weight.
Convenience
The sandwiches need to be kept refrigerated and the best-before date is three days from the day they were packaged. After two days though the sandwiches are pretty soggy from the wilted lettuce and tomato so I would eat these as soon as you buy them. I also wouldn’t recommend freezing them.
These are amazing for the beach or a picnic. They’d also be great for lunch or a lighter dinner with a side of chips and raw vegetables.
Nutrition
Calories
One sandwich contains 610 calories, 40 grams of fat, 1880 milligrams of sodium, 36 grams of carbohydrates, two grams of fiber, six grams of sugar and 28 grams of protein.
There’s a decent amount of protein but the fat, calories and sodium are way higher than I expected!
Ingredients
I don’t love that there’s sugar in sugar, dextrose and carrageenan in the chicken. I’d rather bake my own raw chicken breast and cut it up than use the processed chicken. I also don’t love how there are a bunch of preservatives listed. I think everyone would prefer to bake their bread, use fresh chicken, etc over a processed sandwich, but in reality, many of us just don’t have the time to do that.
The sandwiches contain wheat, milk and egg and may contain soy, peanut, egg, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, crustacean and sesame.

Give it a try!
My husband and parents also liked these sandwiches as a lunch by the pool while we were in Hawaii. I would definitely buy them again on vacation.
