Chick-fil-A is testing a grilled chicken sandwich in Indianapolis, Indiana and Lexington, Kentucky, according to a press release.

The Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich has a lemon herb marinated, boneless, grilled chicken breast of chicken. The sandwich is topped with pepper jack cheese, green leaf lettuce and bacon hand-tossed in a brown sugar and pepper blend. It's served on a buttered and toasted maple-flavored brioche bun.

"Throughout my childhood, I always loved maple syrup, so I was thrilled to incorporate it into our newest chicken entrée, the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich," Christy Cook, creator of the sandwich and a Chick-fil-A chef, said in the press release. "The sweetness of the maple syrup complements the smoky flavors of the grilled chicken and the hint of spice from the pepper jack cheese and pickles. Perfect for enjoying on any summer adventure, we hope customers enjoy this latest take on our grilled chicken sandwich!"

Chick-fil-A operates more than 2,800 restaurants in 48 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada.
