Why the Pollo Rosa Maria Feels Special

The Pollo Rosa Maria is Carrabba’s answer to the classic Italian saltimbocca — the Roman dish of veal layered with prosciutto and sage. Here the formula is adapted to grilled chicken: a juicy breast stuffed with salty prosciutto and creamy fontina, finished with lemon butter and fresh basil. “Rosa Maria” translates roughly to “pink Mary,” a nod to the rosy hue the prosciutto gives the dish.

Stuffed chicken entrées like this one deliver built-in flavor contrast — lean meat outside, rich filling inside — so every bite has more going on than a plain grilled breast.

Flavor Profile: Savory, Creamy, and Bright

Expect smoky-salty prosciutto and nutty, melting fontina at the core, wrapped in tender grilled chicken and lifted by lemon butter’s citrus brightness and fresh basil’s herbal note. At 700 calories with roughly 55g of protein and 15g of carbs, it is a satisfying, protein-forward entrée that eats lighter than its cheese-stuffed description suggests.

Fontina — a semi-soft Italian cheese from the Aosta Valley — melts more smoothly and tastes nuttier than mozzarella, which is why it works so well as a stuffing.

Ordering Tips

Listed under Chicken & More, the Pollo Rosa Maria comes with your choice of side and is available for dine-in, curbside pickup, or online ordering. Note the dairy (fontina, butter) and the wheat caveat in the allergen notes — confirm with the restaurant if you have allergies.

Prices may vary by location. The Chloe Pinot Grigio pairing above is well chosen: a crisp white cuts through the cheese’s richness.
