Slow-Cooked Chicken Thighs with Coconut and Limited Pigeon Peas
Keto Bahamian Chicken Thighs with Coconut and Controlled Pigeon Peas
Yes, with a tweak: request a very small, controlled portion of pigeon peas to minimize carbs. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bahamian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent chicken thighs slow-cooked in a rich, creamy coconut milk base with aromatic Bahamian spices, bell peppers, onions, and a *very limited* amount of pigeon peas. The peas are added sparingly for traditional flavor notes while keeping carb counts low, focusing on the tender chicken and savory coconut sauce.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on), full-fat coconut milk, bell peppers, onions, garlic, thyme, Scotch bonnet pepper (optional), a small amount of pigeon peas, chicken broth, olive oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
