Ingredients Summary
Two chicken breasts breaded in parmesan breadcrumbs, lightly fried, topped with homemade marinara and a blend of mozzarella and parmesan, with a side of spaghetti in marinara.
Taste Profile
Crisp breading under a blanket of melted cheese, with the marinara adding sweetness and garlic. The spaghetti on the side is plain enough to balance the richness.
The dinner plate carries 3,300 mg of sodium, the highest on the classic entrée list, along with 51 g of fat. The lighter portion cuts calories to 630.
Healthier alternative: Grilled chicken parmigiana from the gluten sensitive menu swaps the breading for grilled chicken at 810 calories.
“The definition of comfort food at Olive Garden and consistently good. Two breasts is a lot; the lunch portion is the right size for most appetites.”
