About Texas Roadhouse Portobello Mushroom Chicken
Portobello Mushroom Chicken is the top-shelf plate of the chicken menu at $16.49: a marinated grilled breast layered with jack cheese and a portobello mushroom sauce that borrows its manners from the steak side of the kitchen. At 430 calories it stays in reasonable territory while eating like a composed restaurant dish rather than grilled chicken with toppings.
The sauce is the argument for the extra two dollars over the Smothered Chicken: deeper, silkier, and mushroom-forward in a way sautéed slices alone cannot reach. It is the chicken order for people who came for steakhouse cooking and just happen not to want steak tonight.
