What it is
Tender chicken pieces stewed in a rich, savory sauce, typically made with a sofrito base (onions, peppers, garlic, cilantro), tomato paste, and spices. For a keto-friendly version, all traditional starchy root vegetables (like potatoes, yuca, yautía, plantains) are strictly omitted.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (e.g., thighs, drumsticks), olive oil, sofrito (onions, bell peppers, garlic, cilantro), tomato paste/sauce, chicken broth, oregano, salt, pepper, avocado, simple green salad.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request *without any potatoes, yuca, yautía, or plantains* in the stew. Ask if they can ensure no sugar is added to the sauce. Request with avocado or a simple green salad (oil & vinegar dressing).
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato sauce/paste or sofrito base. Thickening agents (flour or cornstarch) are sometimes used in stews. Presence of forbidden root vegetables if not explicitly omitted.
