Pollo Guisado con Vegetales sin Arroz/Habichuelas
Dominican Stewed Chicken with Keto Vegetables (No Rice/Beans)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice, no beans, no plantains. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Flavorful chicken pieces stewed in a rich, savory tomato-based sauce with bell peppers and onions. Traditionally served with rice and beans, this keto version omits the starchy sides and focuses on the protein and sauce, served with steamed green vegetables like broccoli or green beans.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs and/or drumsticks, sofrito (sautéed onions, garlic, bell peppers, cilantro, oregano), tomato paste, chicken broth, olive oil, bell peppers, white onion, seasoning blend, fresh cilantro, side of steamed broccoli or green beans.
How to make it keto
Request no rice, no beans, no plantains. Ask for steamed or sautéed green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans, or a simple green salad with oil and vinegar) instead of traditional starchy sides. Crucially, confirm no sugar is added to the stew's sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in tomato paste/sauce, cornstarch thickeners for the sauce, cross-contamination with starchy sides, vegetables might be cooked with sugary glaze or butter substitutes.
