No matter how many vegetables you throw in with it, fried chicken coated in viscous sauce of any kind will never be an even moderately decent meal. Order a drink, and you've just hit your entire day's calorie allotment in one sitting. Now, there are healthier chicken dishes at Applebee's other than the Margherita Chicken (try the Garlic Herb Chicken, if you really want to keep it low-cal), but you won't find one as decadent as the Margherita Chicken for fewer than 1,000 calories. Make sure you ask for a side of broccoli, though—the extra potassium will help balance out the high sodium intake.
