Coq au Vin (Version Céto)
Keto Coq au Vin (Chicken Braised in Red Wine)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the sauce. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Classic French chicken braised slowly in a rich red wine sauce with mushrooms and crispy lardons (bacon). This keto version ensures the sauce is not thickened with flour and is served without starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs/drumsticks, red wine (Burgundy), bacon/lardons, mushrooms, pearl onions (small amount), garlic, chicken broth, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), butter, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the sauce. Request omission of any pearl onions (or minimal amount) and carrots (if present). Ask for a side of non-starchy vegetables like green beans or asparagus instead of potatoes or noodles.
Watch out for
Red wine (residual sugar), pearl onions and carrots, flour/starch as a thickener, potential added sugar in some restaurant preparations.
