Chicken pieces (thighs/drumsticks), tomato paste, bell peppers (red/green), yellow onions, garlic, cilantro, oregano, chicken broth, olive oil, fresh avocado, steamed broccoli or green beans.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice, beans (habichuelas), or any starchy root vegetables (e.g., potatoes, yuca, plantains) that are often included in guisados. Confirm no sugar is added to the stew's sauce.
Watch out for
Tomato paste, bell peppers, and onions contribute some carbohydrates. Some restaurants might add a small amount of sugar to balance the sauce. Traditional guisados are always served with high-carb sides.
