Carbonnades de Volaille (Kipstoofvlees met Bier, Keto-Aangepast)
Poultry Stew Braised in Beer, Keto-Modified (Chicken Carbonnade)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or gingerbread is used to thicken the sauce (common in traditional carbonnade). About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Belgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A lighter, poultry-based version of the classic Belgian beer stew. Chicken pieces slowly braised in a rich, dark Belgian beer broth with onions and herbs, thickened naturally or with a keto-friendly alternative. Served with keto-friendly vegetables instead of traditional bread or fries.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs/drumsticks, dark Belgian beer (low-carb variety if possible, or limited quantity), onions, bacon (lardons), chicken broth, mustard, apple cider vinegar, thyme, bay leaf, butter, keto vegetables (e.g., cauliflower mash, green beans).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour or gingerbread is used to thicken the sauce (common in traditional carbonnade). Request a keto-friendly vegetable side (e.g., broccoli, green beans, cauliflower mash) instead of potatoes or bread. Ensure minimal sugar in the sauce from beer or other additives.
Watch out for
Flour/gingerbread as thickener, high-carb beer (minimize quantity), sugar in sauce, traditional carb sides.
