Coq au Vin (Keto, Sans Oignons Perle et Carottes)
Slow-Cooked Chicken in Red Wine Sauce (Keto, No Pearl Onions or Carrots)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no pearl onions or carrots. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty stew of chicken pieces braised slowly in red wine (typically Burgundy), bacon lardons, mushrooms, and herbs. Modified by omitting traditional high-carb vegetables like pearl onions and carrots, and ensuring the wine is fully reduced.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thighs/drumsticks), bacon lardons, red wine (e.g., Pinot Noir), mushrooms, chicken broth, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no pearl onions or carrots. Ensure the red wine is cooked down sufficiently to evaporate most of the alcohol and reduce carb content. Confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener. Decline any potato or noodle accompaniments.
Watch out for
Pearl onions, carrots, flour/starch thickeners, unreduced wine contributing significant sugar, hidden sugars in broth or sauces.
