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.
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.
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.

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!
