Is chicken stew Keto?

Although traditional chicken stew is not typically Keto, the dish can easily adapt to a Keto diet using low-carb and high-fat components. To make chicken stew Keto, incorporate low-carb vegetables like peppers, mushrooms, celery, leek, and zucchini. Incorporating healthy fats like olive oil is also a good idea. Another tip when making Keto chicken stew is to avoid high starch thickeners like cornstarch because that can pile on the carbs quickly.

Do you have to use boneless skinless chicken thighs?

For this Keto chicken stew, we used boneless skinless chicken thighs, but you don't have to. You can use deboned drumsticks, chicken wings, or even chicken breasts. Make sure to cut the chicken into bite-size pieces after searing. When using chicken wings, leave the skin on. During searing, let the chicken wings sear well until the skin turns brown on both sides; that is where all the flavor is!
