Keto Coq au Vin ( French Chicken Stew)
Rich and brimming with flavor, coq au vin is a classic French stew translating to chicken in wine. While coq au vin might sound fancy, it is a simple dish that anyone can master. The browning and braising of the components build flavor and depth. The red wine takes this dish to the next level, so make sure you use a brand you enjoy drinking. This recipe is one of the best French Keto recipes you’ll come across.
What chicken parts can you use for this Keto stew?
This dish is usually prepared with chicken drumsticks or thighs. In this recipe, we are using both. Feel free to use either one, but keep the bones and skin.
What can you serve this dish with?
Since this Keto coq au vin packs loads of flavor, it is best to pair it with a plain side. Cauliflower mash would be a great option, but you can also serve this stew with cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or a fresh green salad.
Is this dish suitable for meal prep?
This low-carb stew is a perfect Keto meal prep recipe because it allows you to cook a large batch with no extra effort. You can double the recipe, serve half of it for dinner, and store the rest in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place your desired portion in a saucepan or skillet and bring it up to heat on the stove.
Serving Size
One serving size includes either a thigh or a drumstick, as well as 1/4 - 1/3 cup of sauce. The macros will differ slightly depending on which chicken part you choose.

Can the wine be skipped?

Coq au vin means chicken with wine. You could skip it but it wouldn't be coq au vin anymore 😊

No mention of parsley either, so I am guessing it is a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
