Hi ho.
Today I’m going to share a recipe for Keto Chicken Fricassee, a French dish that sounds much fancier than it is. It’s actually something that you can throw together in 30 minutes.
But first I want to share some equally good news.
Flight of the Conchords has a new HBO special coming out. Yay! I love these two lovable New Zealanders. They performed one of the songs from the new special on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week. (below) The song is a parody of sentimental ballads like “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin, and “Father and Son” by Cat Stevens. But their version of a father and son ballad… takes a turn.
But let’s talk Keto Chicken Fricassee, shall we?
I based this recipe on a Quick Chicken Fricassee that Cook’s Illustrated makes. All you need to make this low carb dish is chicken, mushrooms, onion, garlic, broth, sour cream, arrowroot powder and an egg. Add a side of cauliflower rice and you’ll have a really good thing going. You’ll have a fancy pants chicken dinner with about 7g net carbs.
Bon Appetit!
