Why the range is what it is: dinner listings across ten third-party sources run $18.79–$21.49. The most common ceiling is $21.49 (longhornmenu.onl, thelonghornsmenu.us, longhornsteakshousee.com, thelonghornmenuprice.com), and the most common floor is $18.99 (menulonghorn.com, longhornmenupricess.com). One national-average listing ($17.99, usafoodjournal.com) and one high listing ($21.99, longhornmenue.com) sit outside the band and are not used. Lunch runs $14.29 (longhornmenuonline.com) to $18.49 (longhornmenu.onl, thelonghornmenuprice.com). The rival’s Orlando menu splits the price by size: 6 oz $17.49, 9 oz $19.49, 12 oz $21.49.

One honest note: the homepage card for this dish currently shows $14.29–$18.99, from the earlier price research. The fresh check puts the dinner ceiling at $21.49, so the homepage card and price table need updating to match this page.

The main rival page quotes single Orlando prices per size. Our range comes from several sources across locations, which is why it is a range, not one number.

What is Lemon Garlic Chicken?

---

Lemon Garlic Chicken is a fire-grilled chicken breast glazed with a bright lemon garlic butter sauce, served in three sizes: 6, 9, and 12 oz. It is the plain-grilled chicken on the menu, no breading, no cheese crust, just char, lemon, garlic, and butter. Sides are included with the entrée, and steamed broccoli is the standard pairing, the one that keeps the whole plate light.

1. Grilled, not fried. This is the opposite of the Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders. No coating, no fryer, no honey mustard. The chicken gets its flavor from the grill and the glaze, not from breading.

2. Lemon garlic butter finish. The sauce is the dish: lemon for brightness, garlic for depth, butter for richness. It is poured over the grilled breast, not cooked into a heavy sauce. Ask for it on the side and you control the fat yourself.

3. Three sizes. 6, 9, and 12 oz, the widest size choice of any chicken entrée on the menu. The 6 oz is a light lunch-sized portion, the 9 oz is the standard dinner order, and the 12 oz is for serious appetites that still want to eat light.

Lemon Garlic Chicken calories & nutrition

Sources: calories by size agreed across menulonghorn.com (240 / 330 / 420), longhornmenuonline.com (330 / 420), longhornmenu.onl (330), thelonghornsmenu.us (330), longhornmenue.com (330), thelonghornmenuprice.com (330), and the rival (330 / 420). Protein ~53 g and sodium ~1,120 mg are the rival’s figures for the 9 oz serving; thelonghornsmenu.us lists ~48 g protein and ~12 g fat instead. Two outliers NOT used: longhornsteakshousee.com (580 cal) and usafoodjournal.com (390 cal), both against the 330 consensus.

What that means in practice: 53 g of protein for 330 calories is one of the best protein-per-calorie ratios on the menu. The 9 oz serving has roughly the protein of a steak with a third of the calories. The fat is low because there is no breading and no cheese crust, only the butter glaze. If you ask for the butter on the side, the fat drops further and the calories come down with it.

Keto-friendly: effectively zero carbohydrates, so this fits any low-carb approach. Pair it with steamed broccoli or asparagus rather than rice or potatoes to keep the plate keto.

Gluten-sensitive: the chicken and its butter finish contain no wheat ingredients, which makes this one of the better chicken choices for gluten-sensitive guests, unlike the breadcrumb-crusted Parmesan version. Third-party menu listings mark the dish “Gluten Sensitive”. LongHorn does not call it gluten-free, and shared grill surfaces still pose a cross-contact risk, so speak with a manager if that matters to you.

Lemon Garlic Chicken vs Parmesan Crusted Chicken

---

Price ranges from the project price-ranges file, checked October 2026 (Parmesan, Salmon, Tenders) and November 8, 2026 (Lemon Garlic Chicken).

Lemon Garlic vs Parmesan: same starting point, different finish. Both are fire-grilled chicken breast, but the Parmesan version adds a crust of Parmesan, provolone, garlic butter, and breadcrumbs, while the Lemon Garlic version adds only a lemon garlic butter finish. That gives the Lemon Garlic roughly half the fat, no wheat, and effectively no carbohydrates, at about the same price. Choose on taste, not price: the Parmesan is the signature, the Lemon Garlic is the lighter one. Full Parmesan Crusted Chicken breakdown →

Lemon Garlic vs Salmon: the two lightest full entrées on the menu. The 7 oz salmon runs about 300 calories, the 9 oz Lemon Garlic about 330, so they are near-identical on calories. The salmon adds omega-3 fats and a bourbon marinade; the chicken adds more protein per dollar. Either is a good light order. Full LongHorn Salmon breakdown →

Lemon Garlic vs Tenders: grilled versus fried. The tenders are cheaper ($12.49–$16.29) and safer for picky eaters, with honey mustard for dipping, but a 6-tender order runs about 420 calories, more than the 9 oz Lemon Garlic at 330. If the goal is light, the Lemon Garlic wins; if the goal is cheap and crispy, the tenders win. Full Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders breakdown →

Is the Lemon Garlic Chicken worth it?

---

Health-focused diners keep finding this dish for a reason. A social post from October 2026 frames the 9 oz chicken with steamed broccoli as a gym-friendly steakhouse order: 420 calories and 57 g of protein for chicken and broccoli together. That is the whole appeal in one plate, a full steakhouse dinner that still fits a training diet.

Order it when:

You want to eat light at a steakhouse. At 330 calories for the 9 oz, this is the lightest chicken entrée on the menu.

You are gluten-sensitive and want chicken. No wheat in the chicken or the butter finish, unlike the breadcrumb-crusted Parmesan version.

You are eating keto or low-carb. Effectively zero carbohydrates, 53 g of protein, and it pairs with broccoli or asparagus.

Skip it when:

You want indulgence. This is a bright, lean dish, not a rich one. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken or a steak fits better.

You want the signature chicken. The Parmesan crust is the famous one; the Lemon Garlic is the quiet one.

You are feeding kids or picky eaters. The tenders are cheaper and safer, and the Lemon Garlic’s lemony flavor is not a kid favorite.

The honest takeaway: at $18.79–$21.49 the 9 oz is mid-priced, not cheap and not expensive. The value is not the price, it is the protein per calorie. No other chicken dish on the menu gives you 53 g of protein for 330 calories.

How to order it well

---

1. Ask for the butter on the side. The lemon garlic butter is the main source of fat. On the side, you control how much you use, and the grilled chicken keeps its char and seasoning without it.

2. Ask for extra lemon. Acidity is what carries this dish. An extra lemon wedge brightens the whole plate for zero calories.

3. Take the 12 oz if you want more protein without more fat. The 12 oz runs about 420 calories with roughly 70 g of protein, still lighter than most entrées on the menu.

4. Pair it with steamed broccoli or asparagus. Rice and potatoes undo the light plate. Broccoli is the standard pairing and keeps the whole meal under 500 calories.

5. Lunch is the cheaper way in. The same dish starts at $14.29 at lunch, Monday to Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM. Check your local LongHorn’s lunch menu before counting on it. Full lunch menu with prices →

Honesty flag: unlike the officially-verified cuts, this dish has no official per-location LongHorn menu verification behind its range. The range is a cross-check of ten third-party sources, and it is labelled as such. The homepage card and price table still show the earlier $14.29–$18.99 range; this page’s fresh check puts the dinner ceiling at $21.49, so the homepage needs updating to match. If LongHorn’s current location menus surface a verified price, this page gets updated first.

Nutrition sources: calories by size agreed across seven sources (listed above). Protein ~53 g (rival) vs ~48 g (thelonghornsmenu.us) for the 9 oz serving; the table uses 53 g. Sodium ~1,120 mg is the rival’s figure only. Two calorie outliers NOT used: longhornsteakshousee.com 580 cal and usafoodjournal.com 390 cal.

Real-people material: Facebook “Fuel hack finds” promo (16 Oct 2026): 9 oz chicken + steamed broccoli, 420 cal, 57 g protein, framed as a gym-friendly steakhouse order. Facebook menu photo (17 Jun 2026, Betty Perkins): official-menu photo showing 6 / 9 / 12 oz at $14.49–$18.49, calories 240+. No questions-hub entries for this dish.

Confidence note: price range is good (10 third-party sources, 2026, mutually consistent on the dinner band) but one tier below the officially-verified cuts, so re-verify against LongHorn’s live location menus when the site launches. Calories are unusually well agreed (330 cal for 9 oz across seven sources).
