Low Carb Spanish Chicken Stew

Low carb Spanish Chicken Stew is an easy, heartwarming dish that you can make in one pot. Sauteed onions and garlic are joined together with chorizo, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and chicken stock. Then bone-in chicken thighs are added and cooked in the tomato broth mixture until tender and falling off the bone. Right before serving, sliced colorful bell peppers are added along with briny green pitted olives. This is the best Keto Spanish food for meal prepping! Delicious over cauliflower rice too, for added vitamins and fiber.

Can I use other cuts of chicken?

Yes, feel free to substitute the chicken thighs with drumsticks instead. Swapping the thighs for another dark meat will keep the macros the same.

Do I have to use canned tomatoes?

Canned tomatoes are readily available year-round, but if you have access to fresh tomatoes, feel free to substitute the canned tomatoes for fresh ones. Fresh will give a nicer flavor. If using fresh, be sure to lower the heat to allow the juices to come out before adding the chicken thighs.

    THIRTEEN grams of carbs in a serving is not LOW CARB.

      It would be fine once in awhile n it’s pretty low in calories. But yes not very low carb.

    This looks good but I don’t see the chicken thighs in the ingredient list.

      I’m going to say four chicken thighs since this is to serve four people. That would make sense and fit he macros.
