Easy Chicken A La King Recipe

by Mark McManus on December 14, 2009

This isn't chicken a la king, it's just a chicken but you get the ideaFancy a whopping 47 grams of protein in a tasty, easy meal?

This is a recipe I had completely forgotten about up until recently. I used to eat this meal regularly before I started my carb-cycling lifestyle a few years ago.

However, after my summer ’09 cut, I switched to my Glycemic Load diet as my method for bulking without adding fat. I then rediscovered this high-protein beauty and wanted to pass it on to you guys.

I didn’t personally formulate this one, I found it on bodybuilding.com a long time ago. It’s perfect for GLADiators and even good for low-carbers in general with only 15.5g net carbs per meal.

Easy Chicken A La King

Here’s what you need:

  • 3 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons wholemeal flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup/8 fl. oz. full-fat milk
  • 1/2 pound cooked, cubed chicken meat
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced
  • 1 1/3 cups cooked spinach

Here’s what you need to do with it:

  • In a saucepan, sauté the onion for a minute or so
  • Now add the salt, flour, milk, and mix thoroughly
  • Bring it all to the boil. It will thicken up nicely
  • Now add your chicken, egg, and spinach and heat through

That’s it – Done!

Quick, easy, and packed with protein.

I had some problems getting an accurate Glycemic Load estimate for this dish, but if you count it as a GL 10 you’ll be more than accounting for its glycemic impact.

  • Calories: 340.4
  • Protein: 47g
  • Total Fat: 10g
  • Total Carbs: 19.2g
  • Dietary Fiber: 3.6g
  • Net Carbs 15.6g

Enjoy,

Mark.

Hey Mark

Thanks for the recipe.

I’ve been following the example GLAD eating plan in your “The NEW Bodybuilding Diet – G.L.A.D” article from 8/13/09.

I’m HORRIBLE at putting meals together. I have the list of acceptable carbs and stuff but i can’t seem to put stuff together that taste good.

Can you provide more example plans? :)

Thanks much for all you do.

Hi mark,

tried this tonight. Lovely but i never eat salt so thod tasted very salty
maybe i could add i piece of bacon instead of the salt. Love the ideas
though. Going to try the chilli soon, i will let you know how it goes!

I have a nice snack that i always have whilst at work, see what you think -

1 tin of tuna
1 inch of cucumber in chunks
2 dried chilli
2 teaspoon mayo full fat
pepper
small pinch of chilli powder

i have this all mixed together with 3 nairns rough oatcakes.

Im cutting after a few months off training so I only have 45 gl
a day.
