Pollo Guisado (sin arroz ni víveres)
Dominican Chicken Stew (no rice or root vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: request 'sin arroz, frijoles, ni víveres' (without rice, beans, or root vegetables). About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Chicken pieces braised in a rich, savory tomato-based sauce with bell peppers, onions, garlic, and herbs. A comforting and flavorful stew, usually served over rice, but the stew itself is keto-friendly when modified.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thighs/drumsticks), tomato paste/sauce, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, sofrito, olive oil, spices, lime juice.
How to make it keto
Request 'sin arroz, frijoles, ni víveres' (without rice, beans, or root vegetables). Ask to confirm no potatoes or other starchy vegetables are added to the stew, and no flour thickeners.
Watch out for
Sweetened tomato products, high amounts of onions/peppers, potatoes or other root vegetables accidentally included, flour/cornstarch thickeners, hidden sugars in sofrito or seasoning blends.
