Coq au Vin (sans Accompagnements Glucidiques)
Chicken Braised in Red Wine Sauce (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, pasta, or other starchy sides. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Chicken pieces (often dark meat like thighs and drumsticks) slow-braised in a rich red wine sauce with mushrooms, bacon lardons, and pearl onions. Traditionally served with potatoes or pasta, these are omitted for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, red wine (Burgundy), bacon lardons, mushrooms, pearl onions, chicken stock, garlic, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), butter, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, pasta, or other starchy sides. Confirm no flour or sugar is used to thicken the sauce beyond minimal natural reduction (some restaurants may use a roux or add sugar). Ask for a side of plain buttered green vegetables if desired.
Watch out for
Flour used as a thickener (roux) for the sauce, added sugar to balance wine acidity, pearl onions (higher carb than regular onions in quantity), potential starchy side served by default.
