Calories

The Chicken Marsala at Bonefish Grill is a rich dish, and its calorie count depends on the specific portion and any additional sides, but generally:

  • Calories: 550–650 calories (for the chicken alone, without sides).
  • The addition of sauces, butter, or sides like mashed potatoes, pasta, or vegetables can increase the calorie count.

Ingredients

  • Chicken Breast: The dish typically features boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are lightly seasoned, sautéed, and then simmered in the Marsala sauce.
  • Marsala Wine: The sauce is made from Marsala wine, a fortified wine from Italy, which gives the dish its signature rich, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor. This wine is often paired with mushrooms to complement its taste.
  • Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms (often cremini or button mushrooms) are sautéed and added to the sauce to enhance the flavor and add texture to the dish.
  • Butter: Butter is typically used to enrich the Marsala wine sauce, giving it a silky, smooth texture.
  • Garlic and Herbs: The dish may be seasoned with garlic and herbs such as thyme or parsley to deepen the flavor of the sauce and complement the chicken and wine.
  • Olive Oil: A bit of olive oil is often used to sauté the chicken before adding the sauce.
  • Optional Garnishes: Fresh parsley is often used as a garnish to add a fresh, green note to the finished dish.

Allergens

  • Chicken: The dish contains chicken, which should be avoided by those with dietary restrictions or preferences against poultry.
  • Dairy: Butter is a primary ingredient in the Marsala sauce, making the dish unsuitable for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
  • Gluten: The Chicken Marsala itself does not contain gluten, but there could be cross-contamination, particularly if served with gluten-containing sides or sauces.
  • Wine: The dish contains Marsala wine, so those who avoid alcohol for any reason should be aware of this.
  • Mushrooms: Mushrooms are included in the dish, which could be an allergen for some individuals who have sensitivities to fungi.
  • Garlic: The dish likely contains garlic, which can be problematic for those with garlic sensitivities.
  • Soy: Some sauces or marinades may contain soy-based ingredients, so individuals with soy allergies should check the specific preparation.

Recommendations

  • For a lighter option: Request the chicken to be grilled or baked instead of sautéed to reduce the amount of butter used in the preparation. Pair it with lighter sides such as steamed vegetables, house salad, or a side of asparagus to keep the meal lighter.
  • For a richer, indulgent meal: Opt for garlic mashed potatoes or crispy Brussels sprouts as sides to complement the richness of the Marsala sauce. You can also request extra sauce to enhance the flavor.
  • Wine Pairing: The Chicken Marsala pairs perfectly with a medium-bodied red wine, such as Pinot Noir, Merlot, or Zinfandel, which complements the sweet, savory flavors of the Marsala wine sauce. If you prefer white wine, a full-bodied Chardonnay will work well with the richness of the butter and the earthiness of the mushrooms.
  • For a gluten-free option: The chicken itself is naturally gluten-free, but be cautious of any gluten in the sauces or sides. Choose gluten-free sides like steamed vegetables or a side salad with a gluten-free dressing.
  • For heart-healthy options: To make this dish more heart-healthy, you can ask for less butter or a light drizzle of olive oil instead. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh side salad to balance the richness of the chicken and sauce.

The Chicken Marsala at Bonefish Grill is a flavorful and indulgent option that delivers a satisfying combination of tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a rich, sweet wine sauce. With customization options available, it can be adapted to suit a range of dietary preferences, from lighter and healthier choices to richer, more indulgent meals.
