Say this to the waiter (French)
Pas de pommes de terre, riz ou légumes racines, s'il vous plaît. Puis-je avoir des haricots verts ou épinards vapeur ou sautés ? Le jus est-il lié avec de la farine ? Si oui, je voudrais juste le jus naturel de cuisson.
No potatoes, rice, or starchy root vegetables. Steamed/sautéed green beans or spinach, please. Is the jus flour-thickened? If so, just natural pan drippings.
Watch out for
Potential for sugary glazes on the chicken. Large portions of green beans can increase total carbs. Some chefs might add a small amount of flour to pan drippings for a thicker gravy.
