Pollo Asado con Ensalada
Grilled Chicken with Salad (No Rice, Beans, Tortillas)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice, beans, or tortillas. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Marinated chicken pieces (often thigh or leg for flavor) grilled to perfection, offering a smoky and savory flavor. Modified to be served with a fresh garden salad or other low-carb vegetables instead of traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Chicken (thigh/leg), marinade (lime juice, garlic, onion powder, cumin, oregano, olive oil), mixed green salad (lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper), dressing (oil/vinegar).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, beans, or tortillas. Ask for extra salad with oil and vinegar dressing (confirm no sugar in dressing) or grilled vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades (less common in simple pollo asado, but possible); high-carb side dishes (rice, beans, tortillas, plantains); sugary salad dressings.
