On Monday, Chick-Fil-A officially released its first digital cookbook, “Extra Helpings: Inspiring Stories and Inventive Recipes from Chick-fil-A Shared Table.”
According to Mashed, the cookbook is free to download and contains 26 recipes inspired by Chick-fil-A Shared Table, a program for participating Chick-fil-A owners and operators to donate excess food to charities in their community . The donated food is then converted into new meals and distributed to those in need.
According to a press release from Mashed, the fast food chain put together the cookbook to raise awareness about combating food insecurity and reducing food waste. Recipes include chicken enchiladas, breaded chicken fajitas, and a chicken and egg breakfast casserole, all made with leftovers. There are also recipes for several Chick-fil-A staples, like creamy coleslaw or the famous but discontinued Chick-fil-A chicken salad. Unfortunately, there’s no recipe for Chick-fil-A’s secret sauce, so that remains a mystery for now.
Additionally, Chick-fil-A is donating $150,000 to Feeding America and Second Harvest. The chain will also donate $100,000 to each of its seven nonprofit Chick-fil-A Shared Table partners.
