Chicken-A-La-King (Low-Fat)

Chicken-A-La-King (Low-Fat) is so tasty, no one will know this is a healthy, low fat version of this very popular dish.

So tasty, no one will know this is a healthy, low fat version of this very popular Chicken-A-La-King !

This is my favorite go-to recipe for Chicken A La King which is much lower in fat as most other similar recipes.

Quick to make, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand, therefore when I need something tasty on the table at the last minute, this is perfect.

The diet I am on, is not really a specific diet. I do a lot of research on the internet regarding health foods which I am allowed to eat.

Low in fat, and specifically foods which will not cause a sudden attack of Pancreatitis, which I promise you, is very painful.

But, low in fat, does not necessarily mean I can eat it, vegetables like cabbage, too much onion, oranges, corn and white flours are just some of the food which is a no-no.

In the same articles, they also mention that it is only a guide and every person has to figure out exactly which foods to avoid. And different foods that could be on the bad list, might actually work for you.

So tasty, no one will know this is a healthy, low fat version of this very popular Chicken-A-La-King !

Right, I did not mean to give a lesson here. Only trying to explain why a certain recipe might be healthy for me, but it might not work for you.

This was also the very first recipe I tried from the recipe book Gesonde Gesinskos.  As I have already mentioned – it is a family favorite by now. I made small adaptions to the original.

What is white onion soup powder and what can I substitute it with if I cannot find it?

Betty Ann, the white soup powder I use comes in a packet ( 60 grams ), but you can also use any thickener with maybe a little bit of dried onions (The soup is mainly to thicken the sauce and not really add that much taste)

I loved this recipe! I used canned peas instead of frozen because that's what I had on hand. I served mine over brown rice because I'm not allowed to have white rice. Even that was good. Will make again!

Glad you enjoyed the recipe, Terri ! And brown rice is actually a bit healthier than white rice 😊 Thank you for leaving a comment !
