IHOP Chopped Chicken Salad
The IHOP Chopped Chicken Salad costs $15.59 with 960–1,150 calories — and it is the only salad on the entire IHOP menu. IHOP’s official description: “Choice of grilled or crispy chicken, hickory-smoked bacon, fresh avocado, tomatoes, four-cheese blend & red onions on a bed of lettuce.” The word “salad” here comes with a caveat: bacon and a four-cheese blend ride along, so this bowl lands where the lighter sandwiches do, not in diet territory.
This guide covers the price, the honest calorie math, every ingredient in the bowl, nutrition, and how to build it your way.

The Honest Calorie Math
The 960–1,150 calorie range is wide, and the spread comes from two choices you make at order time. Here is where the calories actually live.
Grilled vs crispy chicken: ~190 calories
The biggest swing in the bowl. Grilled chicken breast lands the salad near 960; crispy, breaded chicken pushes it toward 1,150. Same as the sandwiches — the breading is the single most expensive calorie choice on the plate.
Bacon and four-cheese blend
Hickory-smoked bacon and a four-cheese blend are the indulgent half of this bowl. They are also why the “salad” still out-calories a Philly cheesesteak — greens do not cancel bacon.
The fresh half: avocado, tomatoes, red onions, lettuce
This is the genuinely virtuous side: fresh avocado with healthy fats, tomatoes, red onions, and a bed of lettuce. The avocado adds calories too, but nutrient-dense ones.
The bottom line: built with grilled chicken and light dressing, this is the most balanced plate in the lineup. Built with crispy chicken and heavy dressing, it is a 1,150-calorie bowl that happens to sit on lettuce.
What’s In the Bowl
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Chicken breast | Grilled or crispy — your choice, biggest calorie lever |
| Hickory-smoked bacon | The smoky-salty counterpoint to the greens |
| Fresh avocado | Sliced, the creamy California layer |
| Tomatoes | Fresh acidity |
| Four-cheese blend | The indulgent melt-in-your-mouth layer |
| Red onions | Sharp bite against the richness |
| Chopped lettuce bed | The base holding it all together |
Notice the overlap with the sandwich lineup: the same bacon, avocado, and four-cheese blend appear on the chicken sandwich and the Cali melt. The salad is effectively the sandwich toppings served over greens instead of bread — which is why it satisfies like a sandwich while reading lighter.
IHOP Chopped Chicken Salad Nutrition Facts
| Nutrient | Amount (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Calories | 960–1,150 |
| Total fat | ~55–65g |
| Carbohydrates | ~35g |
| Protein | ~50g |
| Sodium | ~2,200mg |
The protein is excellent at roughly 50 grams, and carbs stay modest since there is no bread. But fat and sodium track the bacon-cheese reality, not the greens. The grilled version is the only build that keeps the total near four figures. Figures vary by location and preparation.
Building It Your Way
- Always start grilled: the single biggest calorie decision — crispy pushes this bowl to 1,150, past the turkey melt.
- Dressing on the side: the avocado already brings creaminess; dressing on the side keeps you in control.
- Skip the cheese blend for the lightest build: cutting the four-cheese blend saves meaningful fat without touching the chicken, bacon, or avocado.
- Want bread? the toppings mirror the Classic Chicken Sandwich — same chicken, bacon, avocado, and cheese, served on a grilled roll instead.
- Travels well: with dressing on the side, this is the freshest-tasting delivery option in the lineup.
