Cazuela de Pollo con Maní y Vegetales (Keto)
Chicken and Peanut Casserole with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure unsweetened peanut butter is used. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ecuadorian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, stew-like casserole made with tender chicken pieces, slowly simmered in a creamy and savory peanut sauce, often enhanced with coconut milk and seasoned with Ecuadorian spices. Served with a selection of non-starchy vegetables such as green beans, bell peppers, or zucchini, rather than traditional plantain or potato.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs/drumsticks
