Grilled Chicken Parmigiana (Gluten Sensitive) at Olive Garden is the gluten-free-friendly version of the classic Chicken Parmigiana, priced at $20.29 and delivering 810 calories, 33 grams of fat, and 3,040 milligrams of sodium. Instead of the breaded and fried chicken breast in the standard preparation, this version uses grilled unbreaded chicken breast topped with the same marinara sauce and Italian cheese blend. It is served with a side of gluten-free rotini pasta with marinara. Breadsticks are not included to accommodate gluten-sensitive dietary requirements.
The calorie difference between the grilled and the standard Chicken Parmigiana comes from the absence of the breaded, fried coating — removing the breading eliminates both the wheat and the additional fat from frying. The result is a Chicken Parmigiana that delivers the same sauce, cheese, and pasta flavors with a leaner protein at the center. The marinara is the same fresh-made daily tomato sauce used across the menu, and the Italian cheese combination remains the mozzarella-and-provolone blend that defines the classic dish.
