Yesterday while stalking the supermarket isles for goodies that might be permitted on this diet, I found 4 awesome new treasures - Fat Free Miracle whip (very low carb too), Light Wellington's Chutney, Allgold Light Ketchup and my personal favourite, Darling Dairy Fat Free Honey Yogurt, man, that stuff's good!
Those of you who grew up in South African homes will be all too familiar with that very famous Huisgenoot Wenresepte chicken with the sauce made from chutney, mayo and brown onion soup power - I myself have been incapacitated by this chicken dish on many a Sunday afternoon.
Naturally when I saw the above mentioned goodies, my mind went to one place and one place only - Sunday Chicken Heaven, all Dukan friendly of course.
I know chutney is off limits on Dukan, but this Wellington Light Chutney only has 7 grams of carbs per 100g, which still falls into the nothing above 10g/100g rule.
Naturally the onion soup powder is off limits, that stuff's mostly made up of starch anyway, BUT I did find these awesome little onion stock cubes, they pack a lot of flavour and also come in a garlic variety.
Sunday Chicken Heaven
- 8 drumsticks and 8 thighs - skin and visible fat removed naturally!
- 1/4 cup of Sugar free chutney
- 1/4 cup of light ketchup
- 1/4cup of fat free Miracle Whip
- 1 cube of onion stock
- 4 onions
Place the chicken along with the onions, which have been quartered in an oven-proof dish. Mix the sauce and cover all the chicken and onions in it, mixing well once it's poured on.
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 90 minutes. Do not cover as it will draw a lot of moisture and you'll have a runny dish. If you do end up having a runny dish, simply ladle the excess liquid into a small saucepan and reduce to a nice thick sauce on the stove top and pour over the chicken 10 minutes before removing from the oven.
Of course, once we reach consolidation phase, this will be eaten with some yummy Basmati rice... Damn, I miss Basmati rice...
I hope you have a glorious Sunday and a great week ahead!
God Bless

It really helps when you can find Dukan-friendly treats you weren't expecting since they aren't in the book, to make your journey through Dukan more flavourful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding my blog, I look forward to reading about your weight loss journey, keep it up!
Thank you both so much for visiting here, I really appreciate it. Food has always been such a big part of my life, both cooking and eating, and for that to stop just beacause of a diet, would be heading for failure from the word go.
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to have found this whole community of people online who share a goal and who aim to make it easier for each other!
