Arroz con Pollo Keto (con Arroz de Coliflor)
Keto Chicken and Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely ensure cauliflower rice is used. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Puerto Rican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A low-carb version of the classic Puerto Rican chicken and rice dish, made with riced cauliflower instead of traditional white rice. Chicken pieces are cooked with sofrito, bell peppers, olives, capers, and spices, then combined with cauliflower rice for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs/drumsticks, riced cauliflower, olive oil, sofrito (onions, bell peppers, garlic, cilantro), tomato paste (unsweetened), chicken broth, olives, capers, sazón, adobo, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Absolutely ensure cauliflower rice is used. Confirm no added sugar in tomato paste or seasonings. Request no traditional rice as a side.
Watch out for
Using regular rice instead of cauliflower rice; hidden sugars in tomato paste or seasoning blends; high-carb vegetables in the sofrito base (e.g., carrots).
