Coq au Vin avec Champignons et Lardons
Chicken in Red Wine Sauce with Mushrooms and Bacon
Yes, with a tweak: omit any potatoes, pasta, or bread. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic French stew featuring chicken braised slowly in red wine, often with mushrooms, small pearl onions, and lardons (bacon). The traditional side of potatoes, pasta, or bread is omitted for a keto version, focusing on the rich sauce and tender ingredients.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thighs/legs), red wine (e.g., Burgundy), bacon lardons, mushrooms, pearl onions, garlic, chicken broth, herbs, butter.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit any potatoes, pasta, or bread. Ask if flour is used to thicken the sauce and if so, how much, or if a cornstarch slurry is used. Request to go light on pearl onions and carrots if present.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour le Coq au Vin, pas de farine ni de roux pour épaissir la sauce. Pas de pâtes, riz ou pommes de terre. Les petits oignons sont-ils en faible quantité?
For the Coq au Vin, no flour or roux in the sauce. No noodles, rice, or potatoes. Please confirm the pearl onions are minimal.
Watch out for
Flour used for dredging chicken or thickening sauce, pearl onions and carrots (traditional but can add carbs), residual sugars from red wine, starchy side dishes.
