Kokoš v Smetanovi Gobovi Omaki (Brez Zgoščevalcev)
Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce (No Thickeners)
Yes, with a tweak: ask for 'brez zgoščevalcev' (no flour, cornstarch, or other thickeners) in the cream sauce. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovenian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chicken pieces (often thigh or breast) cooked in a rich, flavorful sauce with mushrooms and heavy cream. This preparation is a common, comforting dish. Keto adaptation removes any flour or starch thickeners from the sauce.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, mushrooms (e.g., button, porcini), heavy cream, onions, garlic, butter, chicken broth, salt, pepper, parsley, optional keto-friendly side (e.g., cauliflower mash, steamed greens).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for 'brez zgoščevalcev' (no flour, cornstarch, or other thickeners) in the cream sauce. Ensure the sauce is primarily cream, mushrooms, and broth. Request a side of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., steamed broccoli, green beans, or grilled zucchini) instead of noodles, rice, or potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
