Arroz con Pollo (Keto con Arroz de Coliflor)
Keto Chicken and Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly substitute cauliflower rice for white rice. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Cuban food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic Cuban dish reimagined for keto, featuring tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich, savory sofrito with traditional spices and a hint of saffron, served over a generous portion of fluffy riced cauliflower instead of traditional rice.
Key ingredients
Chicken (thighs, drumsticks, or breast), cauliflower rice, bell peppers, onions, garlic, olive oil, tomato paste (small amount), chicken broth, dry white wine, cumin, oregano, bay leaf, saffron, salt, pepper, cilantro.
How to make it keto
Explicitly substitute cauliflower rice for white rice. Ensure no sugar is added to the tomato paste or broth. Request no starchy sides.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato paste or commercial chicken broth, potential for flour/cornstarch as thickener in some restaurant preparations, overuse of bell peppers/onions.
