What it is
Succulent grilled chicken, marinated in a vibrant and spicy piri-piri sauce. To make it keto-friendly, this dish is served without its traditional high-carb accompaniments (fries and rice), and instead is paired with a generous portion of buttery sautéed green vegetables like spinach or broccoli.
Key ingredients
Chicken (whole or parts), piri-piri sauce (chili peppers, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt), olive oil, butter, fresh green vegetables (e.g., spinach, broccoli, green beans).
How to make it keto
Request no fries or rice. Ask for steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables (spinach, broccoli, green beans, asparagus) as a side. Confirm the piri-piri sauce has no added sugar or thickeners.
Watch out for
Piri-piri sauce can sometimes contain hidden sugars or starches. Cross-contamination with high-carb items if grilled on shared surfaces. Quantity of less keto-friendly vegetables if not specified.
