Calories

The Lily’s Chicken® is a relatively rich entrée due to the goat cheese and balsamic glaze, but it is still a great source of lean protein. The calorie count can vary based on portion size and any side dishes, but here is an approximate breakdown:

  • Calories: Around 600 – 700 calories for the 8oz chicken breast, without sides or additional sauces.
  • The addition of sides such as garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, or salads will increase the total calorie count.

Ingredients

  • Chicken Breast: The main ingredient is a boneless, skinless chicken breast, which is grilled to perfection, offering a lean source of protein with a mild flavor.
  • Goat Cheese: A layer of goat cheese is spread on top of the chicken, providing a creamy and slightly tangy flavor that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.
  • Spinach: Fresh spinach is used, adding a slight earthiness to the dish. The spinach is typically wilted before being added on top of the chicken.
  • Balsamic Glaze: The dish is drizzled with a balsamic glaze, adding a sweet and tangy note that complements the savory and creamy elements of the dish.
  • Olive Oil: A light drizzle of olive oil is often used to grill the chicken and prevent it from drying out, adding a subtle richness.

Allergens

  • Chicken: The dish contains chicken, which should be avoided by those who have dietary restrictions or personal preferences against poultry.
  • Dairy: The goat cheese in this dish means that it contains dairy and may not be suitable for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
  • Gluten: The Lily’s Chicken® itself is naturally gluten-free, but there may be cross-contamination if served with gluten-containing sides or sauces. Be sure to inquire about gluten-free sides if necessary.
  • Soy: Some balsamic glazes or sauces may contain soy-based ingredients. If you have a soy allergy, it’s recommended to ask the restaurant about the specific ingredients in the balsamic glaze.
  • Garlic: The dish might contain garlic as part of the seasoning or in the balsamic glaze, so individuals with garlic sensitivities should be cautious.
  • Tree Nuts: There is no direct evidence of tree nuts in this dish, but cross-contact is always possible, so it’s best to confirm with the restaurant if you have a severe nut allergy.

Recommendations

  • For a lighter meal: Request the chicken to be grilled without the balsamic glaze, or ask for a reduced amount of glaze to lower the sugar and calorie content. Pair it with a lighter side such as steamed vegetables, a side salad, or asparagus to make the meal more balanced.
  • For an indulgent option: Enjoy the Lily’s Chicken® as is, with its creamy goat cheese and tangy balsamic glaze. For an indulgent side, pair it with garlic mashed potatoes or crispy Brussels sprouts.
  • Wine Pairing: The Lily’s Chicken® pairs well with a light red wine like Pinot Noir, which complements the earthiness of the spinach and the tang of the balsamic glaze. Alternatively, a full-bodied white wine like Chardonnay would complement the richness of the goat cheese and the grilled chicken.
  • For a gluten-free option: The Lily’s Chicken® is naturally gluten-free (as long as the sides are gluten-free), so pair it with gluten-free sides like a side salad, steamed vegetables, or grilled asparagus.
  • For heart-healthy options: To make the dish healthier, ask for less oil or glaze. Choose lighter sides, such as steamed broccoli or a house salad with vinaigrette, to reduce the overall fat and calorie content.

The Lily’s Chicken® at Bonefish Grill is a flavorful and versatile dish that blends creamy, savory, and tangy elements.
