I love the challenge of making my takeout or fast food favorites in a healthier version at home. So a few weeks ago I asked my followers for a sauce recipe that they wanted me to remake at home and Chick-fil-A sauce was the top result. I created this healthy copycat Chick-fil-A sauce as a healthier alternative to the original.

You may be interested to hear how I went about creating this healthy copycat Chick-fil-A sauce. I started by reading the ingredient list on the original sauce and was less than impressed by that list of ingredients.

I knew that the sauce needed to be sweet and tangy like honey mustard, but creamy like mayonnaise. The other component of the traditional Chick-fil-A sauce is barbecue flavor and smoke. I used smoked paprika to get that smoke flavor naturally.

ingredients You’ll Need

Just grab a few simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand and get ready to mix this sauce together!

• Low fat plain Greek yogurt – This is what makes this sauce a healthier version of the original. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a slight tang while keeping the sauce lighter than a full mayo base.
• Yellow mustard – Mustard is one of the key flavors in Chick-fil-A sauce and gives it that classic tangy kick. Use regular yellow mustard here for the most authentic flavor.
• Mayonnaise – A small amount of mayo adds richness and that classic creamy texture without making the sauce too heavy.
• Honey – Honey adds the sweetness that balances out all the tangy ingredients. Use real honey for the best flavor.
• Ketchup – Ketchup adds a subtle smoky tomato flavor that rounds out the sauce and gives it that signature Chick-fil-A color.
• Apple cider vinegar – A splash of vinegar brightens up all the flavors and gives the sauce its signature tangy zip.
• Onion powder – Adds a mild savory depth to the sauce that pulls all the flavors together.
• Garlic powder – A little garlic powder adds just enough savory flavor without being overpowering.
• Black pepper – Adds a gentle warmth and rounds out the overall flavor of the sauce.
• Smoked paprika – This is what gives the sauce that smoky, slightly barbecue-like flavor that makes Chick-fil-A sauce so unique and addictive.
