Pollo Guisado
Dominican-Style Stewed Chicken (with Avocado & Steamed Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables are in the stew. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Bone-in chicken pieces braised in a savory, aromatic sauce of sofrito, tomato, and spices until fall-off-the-bone tender. While traditionally accompanied by rice, a keto adaptation includes fresh avocado and steamed low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks), olive oil, sofrito (onions, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, garlic, cilantro), tomato paste/sauce, olives, capers, chicken broth, oregano, salt, pepper. Served with avocado and steamed broccoli/green beans.
How to make it keto
Confirm no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables are in the stew. Verify no flour or cornstarch thickeners. Omit all rice, beans, or starchy sides. Request avocado and steamed non-starchy vegetables.
Watch out for
Tomato paste/sauce (can contain sugar), hidden sugars in seasonings, thickening agents, root vegetables.
