Tender chicken is cooked in a verdant sauce made from tomatillos, cilantro, green chiles, onions, and fortified with toasted pumpkin and sesame seeds for natural thickening. *Traditional high-carb thickeners (like masa or bread) are explicitly omitted*. Served with a side of allowed low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Chicken, tomatillos, cilantro, green chiles (e.g., jalapeño, serrano), onions, garlic, toasted pumpkin seeds, toasted sesame seeds, chicken broth, cooking oil. Non-starchy vegetables such as green beans or spinach.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that no traditional high-carb thickeners (masa, bread) are used in the sauce. Request that *only* low-carb vegetables are included (e.g., green beans, spinach, bell peppers), *avoiding potatoes or other starchy vegetables*. Request extra healthy fats.
Watch out for
Traditional thickeners (masa, bread) are standard. Starchy vegetables are common. The sauce can contain concentrated carbs from tomatillos/onions and potential added sugars.
