Mary Brown's Chicken has introduced plant-based chicken menu options to stores across Canada, according to a press release.

Mary Brown's will offer Lightlife plant-based Chicken Tenders on its menu as well as Lightlife plant-based Chicken Sidekick Snack Sandwiches in two flavor profiles.

A growing segment of Canadians are choosing a flexitarian diet — they eat meat and poultry, but are increasing their intake of plant-based food. Mary Brown's wanted to provide menu choices for this emerging demographic.

"We're listening to what Canadians are saying and how their food tastes are changing," Hadi Chahin, Mary Brown's president and COO, said in the release. "So while chicken is at the heart of our menu, we also want to satisfy the cravings of guests who are looking for delicious plant-based choices. "Plant-based options open the door to more people enjoying Mary Brown's — and at the end of the day, sharing great food with family and friends is what we're all about."

"Lightlife is committed to making plant-based eating more accessible and is excited to partner with Mary Brown's to now offer their Guests something they can enjoy without compromise: delicious and satisfying breaded plant-based chicken menu options made with simple ingredients they can feel good about," Dan Curtin, president of Greenleaf Foods SPC, said in the release.

Mary Brown's Chicken has over 200 locations across Canada. The brand is 100% Canadian-owned and operated since 1969.
