The Habit, based in Irvine, California, has added a chicken caprese sandwich to the menu through March 16, according to a company press release.

The new sandwich starts with a hand-filleted chicken breast seasoned and chargrilled, then topped with thick slices of fresh mozzarella, ripe sliced tomatoes and crisp lettuce. It's served on grilled garlic-herb sourdough bread with a basil pesto aioli spread, said Chef Adam Baird, The Habit's VP of food and beverage and creator of the new limited-time special.

"We get so many compliments on our chicken sandwiches, it seemed making one with popular Italian ingredients like fresh mozzarella and zesty pesto would be a hit with our guests," he said. "At this time of the year, we find people like the option of something lighter with fresh, herbaceous flavors. This sandwich delivers just that with layers of tastes and textures."
