Cheddars Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo: Price, Calories & Nutrition Guide
The Cheddars Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo is the most grown-up plate on the kids menu: penne pasta and grilled chicken folded through Cheddar’s homemade alfredo sauce, served with garlic bread. It is built like a smaller version of a full pasta entrée rather than a basic kids portion, and it is priced at $6.99 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s.
It is also the biggest kids meal Cheddar’s sells. The official nutrition guide lists it at 870 calories — the highest of any kids meal — with 48 grams of protein, again the most on the kids menu. This guide covers the Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo price, what comes with it, the calories and full nutrition, what to pair it with, and how to order it online.

What Comes With the Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo?
Order it and you get a kids portion of penne pasta with grilled chicken in Cheddar’s homemade alfredo sauce, plus garlic bread served with it. This is one of the two Kids entries with no side choice — the garlic bread takes the side’s place. When you order, you also get a drink choice (milk, chocolate milk, apple juice, soft drinks, lemonades and iced teas are among the options), and extra alfredo sauce can be added for $1.29.

How Much Does the Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo Cost?
The Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo price is $6.99 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s — the joint-highest price on the kids menu, level with the Chicken Tenders, Junior Burger, Grilled Chicken and Fried Shrimp. What the extra dollar over the plain Kid’s Penne Pasta ($5.99) buys is the grilled chicken itself: the same style of alfredo pasta, turned into a chicken entrée. Adding extra alfredo sauce takes the total up by $1.29.

Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo Nutrition and Calories
At 870 calories, the Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo is the highest-calorie kids meal on the Cheddar’s menu — richer than the Chicken Tenders (630) and far above the Grilled Cheese (420). The chicken is what moves it: 48 grams of protein, the most of any kids meal (the tenders are next at 44 grams), alongside 49 grams of fat, 24 of them saturated, from the alfredo sauce.

What to Pair With the Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo
Side House Salad is the fresh counterweight to a plate this rich. The alfredo is creamy from the first bite to the last, so a crisp house salad on the table — for the child or for sharing — keeps the meal from feeling one-note, and at $3.99 it is an easy add.
Kid’s Grilled Cheese is the order for the pickier eater at the same table. One child gets the full alfredo plate while the other gets American cheese on Texas toast with a side of their choice, and both meals land at kids-menu prices — $6.99 and $5.99.
Honey Butter Croissants are the sweet start the whole table shares before the mains arrive. A basket of the warm, honey-butter-glazed croissants buys the kitchen time and keeps hungry kids settled until the pasta lands.
The Kids Meal Built for a Big Appetite
Most kids menus top out at tenders and burgers. This one reads like an adult entrée that was portioned down: real grilled chicken, a proper cream sauce, garlic bread on the side. Put it next to the plain Kid’s Penne Pasta and the difference is exactly the chicken — the pasta entry offers alfredo on its own for $5.99 and 700 calories with 16 grams of protein, while this version adds grilled chicken for a dollar more and lands at 870 calories with 48 grams of protein. For a child who has outgrown the smaller kids portions but is not ready for a full-size entrée price, it is the natural step up.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
At 870 calories this is a full meal by any measure — the figures to notice are the saturated fat (24 g) and sodium (1,580 mg) that come with the alfredo sauce, balanced against that menu-topping 48 grams of protein. On allergens, the official guide marks the Kid’s Grilled Chicken Alfredo for soy, dairy (milk), wheat and gluten, and the garlic bread served with it is separately flagged as a grilled item with soy, dairy, wheat and gluten. Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur. It cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens.
