Well, you shouldn't really be trying to make her gain weight as fast as you can. The sudden increase in weight can be just as harmful as the state she is in now.
Feeding her normally with some fattening foods added in (like nuts and seeds) will help her gradually achieve her normal weight rather than shocking her system with rapid weight gain.

I can't really think of any other foods with sufficient fat content that would be safe for chinchillas.
As I said, just try and build her back up gradually.
