Olive Garden is already known for its massive portion sizes, but now the chain is taking things to the next level with its new Giant Chicken Parmigiana. Measuring nearly a foot in length, this supersized Italian dish will leave you with plenty of leftovers for the next day.
Starting April 1, Olive Garden will debut its new Giant Chicken Parmigiana. The oversized dish consists of an 11.5-inch-long slab of crispy chicken, doused in marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. If that weren't enough, the whole thing is served with a side of fettuccine alfredo—not to mention the chain's unlimited breadsticks, and homemade soup or salad as well.
If chicken parm isn't your thing, the chain is also debuting two other oversized dishes. The first is a massive 12-ounce meatball served over spaghetti, and the second is the Alfredo-sauce cover Giant Four-Cheese Stuffed Shells.
