Piletina s Maslinama i Kaparima
Chicken with Olives and Capers (Keto-style)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender chicken pieces (often thighs) slowly simmered in a savory pan sauce with a medley of olives, capers, garlic, and a hint of white wine.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs (or breast), olive oil, garlic, white wine, chicken broth, green and black olives, capers, minimal onion, minimal diced tomato, herbs (oregano, thyme), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce. Request minimal onions and tomato. Ask to be served with a simple green salad or steamed keto-friendly vegetables instead of rice or potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Je li umak zgusnut brašnom? Minimalno luka i rajčice, molim. Mogu li dobiti zelenu salatu ili kuhano keto povrće umjesto riže ili krumpira?
Is the sauce flour-thickened? Minimal onions/tomato. Green salad or steamed keto vegetables instead of rice/potatoes, please.
Watch out for
Flour-based thickeners in the sauce. Hidden sugar in tomato products. Excessively large portions of onions or carrots in the sauce base. Served with rice or pasta.
