Calories

The 8oz Chicken Breast at Bonefish Grill is a relatively lean protein, and its calorie count will depend on the preparation method and any additional ingredients such as sauces or oils. Generally, for the grilled chicken breast:

  • Calories: Around 350-400 calories for the 8oz serving (without sauces or sides). The addition of sauces, butters, or any seasoning will increase the calorie count.

Ingredients

  • Chicken Breast: The primary ingredient is a boneless, skinless chicken breast, which is a lean cut of poultry that provides a mild, juicy flavor when cooked properly. This cut is lower in fat compared to darker cuts of chicken, like thighs.
  • Seasonings: The chicken breast is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes additional herbs or spices such as garlic, lemon, or paprika to enhance its flavor. Bonefish Grill might also use their signature seasoning blends for added flavor.
  • Olive Oil: The chicken is usually grilled with a light coating of olive oil to prevent sticking and to achieve a slight caramelization on the surface, which adds flavor.
  • Sauces (Optional): The chicken breast can be served with various sauces like herb butter, lemon butter, or a citrus glaze, which will add extra flavor and moisture.

  • Garlic: If the chicken is seasoned with garlic or served with a garlic-based sauce, it may not be suitable for people with a garlic sensitivity.
  • Soy: Some marinades or sauces may contain soy or soy-based products, so it’s important to ask about these ingredients if you have a soy allergy.
  • Gluten: The 8oz Chicken Breast itself is gluten-free, but cross-contamination may occur if the chicken is prepared in an environment where gluten-containing ingredients are used. Make sure to inquire about sauces and sides if you need a gluten-free option.
  • Eggs: Depending on the preparation method, such as if the chicken is lightly coated or marinated with an egg-based product, it might contain egg. Verify with the restaurant if you have an egg allergy.

Recommendations

  • For a lighter option: Request the chicken to be grilled with minimal oil or butter to reduce the calorie and fat content. Pair it with a light side, like steamed vegetables or a side salad, for a lower-calorie, nutritious meal.
  • For a richer meal: If you want a more indulgent option, ask for the chicken breast to be served with a butter-based sauce, such as herb butter or garlic butter, or opt for a tangy citrus glaze. Pair it with a richer side like garlic mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, or crispy Brussels sprouts to complement the flavors.
  • Wine Pairing: The 8oz Chicken Breast pairs well with a light white wine like Chardonnay, which complements the mild flavor of the chicken. Alternatively, if the chicken is served with a more robust sauce, you could opt for a light red wine like Pinot Noir. For a citrus-flavored chicken, a Sauvignon Blanc works nicely.
  • For a gluten-free option: The 8oz Chicken Breast is naturally gluten-free, but you should check if the seasoning or sauce contains gluten. Opt for gluten-free sides such as steamed broccoli, seasonal vegetables, or a side salad to keep the meal completely gluten-free.
  • For heart-healthy benefits: To keep the meal heart-healthy, ask for the chicken to be grilled with minimal oil and without butter. Pair it with heart-healthy sides like steamed vegetables, asparagus, or a side salad with a light vinaigrette dressing to reduce overall calories and increase fiber intake.

The 8oz Chicken Breast at Bonefish Grill is a versatile and customizable option suitable for those seeking a lean protein.
