Olive Garden Chicken Marsala: Price, Calories, and Menu Guide 2026

The Olive Garden Chicken Marsala is one of the richest chicken dishes on the menu. It is listed as Stuffed Chicken Marsala in the entrée section.

This guide covers the price, calories, ingredients, and allergens. It also shows how it compares to other chicken dishes.

If you want every dish side by side, start with the full Olive Garden menu with prices. A quick note for UK readers. Olive Garden operates in the US and Canada, so all prices here are in US dollars.

Olive Garden Chicken Marsala Price

The Olive Garden Chicken Marsala price is $23.49 for the dinner portion in 2026. It was $21.49 before the latest update, so the price has gone up by $2.

That puts it in the upper half of the entrée range. For comparison, here are other prices from our menu:

• Chicken Scampi: $20.79
• Chicken Alfredo: $21.49
• Chicken Marsala: $23.49
• Tour of Italy: $25.49

It costs more than the Alfredo and Scampi plates but less than the Tour of Italy. Cities such as New York and California are usually more expensive than the Midwest.

What Is Olive Garden Chicken Marsala?

It is a chicken breast stuffed with Italian cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes. It is topped with a Marsala wine sauce and sliced mushrooms.

The dish is an Italian-American entree. The name comes from classic chicken Marsala, which uses Marsala wine from Sicily. The Olive Garden version is much heavier than the traditional recipe. The cheese stuffing is the main reason.

Lunch, Dinner, and Takeout Price

Dinner is the main portion. Olive Garden also has a separate lunch menu with smaller plates. I could not confirm a lunch version of this dish. Check the lunch menu at your local restaurant before ordering.

Takeout and delivery usually match the dine-in menu price. Third-party apps often add service fees, so the final total can be higher.

Olive Garden Chicken Marsala Menu Description

Here is what is on the plate:

• Oven-roasted chicken breast
• A stuffing of Italian cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes
• Marsala wine and mushroom sauce
• A side dish

The side is reported two ways. Some sources say garlic mashed potatoes. Others say fettuccine Alfredo. Ask your server which one your restaurant uses. If you want the pasta side, our Chicken Alfredo guide explains how that creamy sauce is made.

Olive Garden Chicken Marsala Ingredients

The main ingredients are:

• Chicken breast
• Ricotta, Parmesan, Romano, and mozzarella cheeses
• Sun-dried tomatoes
• Marsala wine
• Mushrooms
• Chicken stock, butter, onions, garlic and herbs

The sauce is savoury and slightly sweet from the wine. It is not spicy.

Olive Garden Chicken Marsala Calories and Nutrition Facts

The most widely reported figure is 1,090 calories per plate. One independent database lists 930 instead.

Here is how it compares with other dishes:

• Chicken Scampi: 1,050 calories
• Chicken Alfredo: 1,480 to 1,710 calories
• Tour of Italy: 1,550 calories

So it sits in the middle. It is lighter than the Alfredo dishes but still a heavy meal. The sodium is the biggest concern. Reported figures are over 3,000 mg, which is most of a day’s recommended salt. For exact numbers, check the nutrition guide on the Olive Garden website.

Allergens and Dietary Notes

The dish contains dairy, from the cheese stuffing and the sauce. It also contains wheat if served with pasta. It is not vegetarian or vegan.

Gluten is a risk for coeliacs because Olive Garden kitchens share surfaces. Our gluten-free menu guide explains the safer options.

Does It Contain Alcohol?

The sauce is made with Marsala wine. Most of the alcohol cooks off during preparation, but a small trace may remain.

If you avoid alcohol completely, ask your server before ordering.

What Does It Taste Like?

It is creamy, cheesy and rich. The mushrooms add an earthy flavour. The sun-dried tomatoes add a little tang. Most guests describe it as indulgent rather than light. One plate is filling, so you may not need a starter.

Chicken Marsala vs. Chicken Parmigiana

Both are chicken dishes, but they taste very different.

• Chicken Marsala: stuffed chicken with a wine and mushroom sauce.
• Chicken Parmigiana: breaded chicken with marinara and melted cheese.

Pick Marsala if you like savory, creamy sauces. Pick Parmigiana if you prefer tomato and crispy chicken. For a lighter seafood alternative, see our Shrimp Scampi.

Is It on the Never Ending Pasta Bowl Menu?

I could not confirm this. The Never Ending Pasta Bowl is a separate offer built around pasta, sauce and topping choices. Ask your server whether Marsala can be included.

Can You Save Money on Chicken Marsala?

There are two easy routes. The first is the 2 for $25 deal. Eligible entrées vary by location, so check whether Marsala is included.

The second is a family-style meal for a group. Our family style meals guide covers prices and portions. Also look at current Olive Garden coupons and deals before you order.

Is Olive Garden Chicken Marsala Worth It?

It is worth it if you want a rich, restaurant-style chicken dish. The stuffing and sauce make it feel more special than a simple grilled plate.

At $23.49 it is not the cheapest entrée. It is also not the best pick if you are watching calories or salt. A grilled chicken dish is lighter. My verdict: a good treat meal, but not an everyday order.
