At California Chicken Café there are many ways to eat very healthy at our restaurant. We pride ourselves in offering a fresh and healthy menu. By following a few additional recommendations, your meal can be extremely healthy.

Chicken:
Eat our chicken without the skin. White meat is much lower in fat compared to the dark meat. When ordering chicken, request all white meat. It's much lower in fat and calories. Also, before eating our chicken, remove the skin and don't eat the wing. For added flavor, try one or more of our many low calorie, fat free sauces over at our condiment bar.

Wraps:
By ordering the wraps without mayo and dressing, you will save many calories and reduce your fat intake considerably. We offer mustard and fat free mayo which is available on request.

Salads:
We offer a low fat Italian dressing (15 calories for two tablespoons and 1 gram of fat) and several other low fat dressings. To lower calories and fat even further, here are some suggestions:

1. Mix 1 part low cal ranch with 1-2 parts salsa
2. Mix 1 part of any low cal dressing with 1-2 parts salsa, green or red
3. Mix 1 part Chinese Dressing with 1-2 parts rice vinegar
4. Use our rice vinegar or balsamic vinegar with a touch of olive oil as your dressing

When ordering salads, by eliminating the Chinese noodles, almonds, and croutons, you will cut down on your calorie intake. We also offer several low cal salads. The low cal veggie salad and the low cal Caesar salad are delicious and a healthier alternative.

Sides:
Our soup is delicious, make fresh daily, and very, very low in fat. For the side salad, order without croutons and ask for a low cal dressing. We will customize a side salad for you. For example,you can request a side of tomatoes with green onions, a side of broccoli with carrots, etc. When ordering the mashed potatoes, hold the gravy. The squash is an excellent choice. It is simply steamed, with nothing added.
