How Much Is Chicken Alfredo at Olive Garden? (2026 Price)

Chicken Alfredo Price, Calories and What’s in the Dish

Chicken Alfredo costs around $19.99 at Olive Garden in 2026, though the exact price runs $18.79–$21.49 depending on location. It’s the chain’s most-ordered dish for a reason: fettuccine tossed in parmesan Alfredo sauce made fresh in-house every morning, topped with sliced grilled chicken breast. The full entrée runs about 1,560 calories, and like most entrées it comes with unlimited breadsticks for dine-in guests.

Simple dish — but the price moves around more than you’d expect between locations. Here’s what you’re paying for, how it stacks up against similar dishes, and whether it’s worth ordering.

What You Get for the Price

The dish is straightforward: a full plate of fettuccine in Alfredo sauce (butter, cream, parmesan, garlic) with a sliced grilled chicken breast on top. No sampler games, no upcharge surprises — it’s one of the most consistent items on the full Olive Garden menu.

How it compares to the closest alternatives:

The chicken adds roughly $2.50 over a plain Fettuccine Alfredo — fair for a full grilled chicken breast. Shrimp Alfredo sits a dollar or two higher, reflecting the seafood.

Chicken Alfredo Nutrition

At around 1,560 calories, this is one of the heavier entrées on the menu — the Alfredo sauce does the damage (roughly 97g fat). For context:

• Chicken Alfredo: ~1,560 cal
• Fettuccine Alfredo (no chicken): ~1,310 cal
• Chicken Parmigiana: ~1,060 cal

If you want the flavor with less damage, the lunch menu offers lighter portions of the classics on weekdays before 3 PM.

Is the Chicken Alfredo Worth It?

Yes, if it’s what you’re craving. It’s the signature dish, the portion is generous, and the price is in line with every comparable entrée on the menu. You’re not overpaying for the name.

Two honest caveats:

• The Tour of Italy beats it on variety. At $21.79–$23.79 — barely more — the Tour of Italy sampler gives you fettuccine alfredo plus chicken parmigiana and lasagna on one plate. If you’re indecisive, that’s the better order.
• Watch the promo calendar. During the Never Ending Pasta Bowl event ($14.99, running Aug 31–Nov 22, 2026), you can build endless fettuccine alfredo with unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks for less than this single entrée.

Chicken Alfredo FAQ

How much is Chicken Alfredo at Olive Garden in 2026?

Typically $18.79–$21.49, most commonly around $19.99. Prices vary by location.

How many calories are in Olive Garden’s Chicken Alfredo?

About 1,560 calories for the full entrée — one of the heavier dishes on the menu thanks to the cream-based Alfredo sauce.

Does Chicken Alfredo come with unlimited breadsticks?

Yes. Like most Olive Garden entrées, dine-in orders include unlimited breadsticks (and unlimited soup or salad if you add it).

Is there a lunch-sized Chicken Alfredo?

Olive Garden’s weekday lunch menu (11 AM–3 PM) offers lighter, cheaper portions of classic dishes including Fettuccine Alfredo. Check the lunch prices before you go — it’s the cheapest way to get your alfredo fix.

Can you order Chicken Alfredo for a group?
