Kurací paprikáš (Keto)
Chicken Paprikash with Cream and Peppers (No Noodles)
Yes, with a tweak: request no halušky or noodles. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and creamy chicken stew, slow-cooked with generous amounts of paprika, bell peppers, and often sour cream. The keto version omits the traditional halušky (dumplings) or pasta, allowing the flavorful sauce and tender chicken to be the focus.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs/breast, onion, bell peppers, sweet and hot paprika, small amount of tomato paste, chicken broth, sour cream or heavy cream, lard/oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no halušky or noodles. Ask to ensure the sauce is not thickened with flour/starch and contains no added sugar (e.g., from tomato paste or low-quality paprika).
Watch out for
Dumplings/noodles (fundamental carb). Flour/starch thickeners in the sauce. Hidden sugar in tomato paste or paprika.
