Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (bone-in, skin-on preferred), olive oil, onions, bell peppers, garlic, sofrito, tomato paste, chicken broth, olives, cilantro, oregano, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'no papas' (no potatoes), 'no zanahorias' (no carrots), and 'no maiz' (no corn). Confirm no flour or starchy thickeners are used in the sauce. Served with a side green salad or avocado instead of rice or plantains.
Watch out for
Tomato paste and onions contribute some carbs. Some restaurants might add a pinch of sugar to balance the tomato. Be aware of potatoes, carrots, or corn often found in standard guisados.
