The plans were first discovered in leaked internal documents seen by
While McDonald's has not confirmed any further details, it told that customers should "stay tuned" for further announcements.
It is not yet clear what the new breakfast meal will be - but recent McDonald's breakfast trials may hold the key.
In July this year, McDonald's tested McChicken Muffins in Connecticut, and in Los Angeles the chain trialled Chicken McGriddles and McChicken Biscuits.
So, it seems likely that it will be one (or more) of these options that's being rolled out nationwide.
The McChicken McMuffin features a McChicken patty, mayonnaise, and lettuce on an English muffin or biscuit, but we couldn't find it on the US online menu.
The Chicken McGriddle is a McChicken patty between McGriddle buns, , though there's no picture yet.
It comes in at 390 calories per serving.
Finally, the McChicken Biscuit is the same patty but inside two halves of a biscuit.
This one is , has a picture already and comes in at 420 calories.
We don't have exact prices form any of the chicken options, but people who seen them regionally have reported prices of less than $3 (£2.31).

McDonald's isn't the only fast food chain jumping on the breakfast chicken bandwagon.
Popular chain Wendy's recently launched a new breakfast menu which features a honey butter chicken sandwich.
