    Quick Keto Chicken Fricassee

    Jump to Recipe

    This is a quick 30 minute recipe for, Keto Chicken Fricassee. It's Low Carb, Paleo, Whole30 and THM-S compliant and just an all around tasty.

    Low Carb Keto Chicken Fricasse

    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!

Since then, I've come up with hundreds of Keto recipes for everything from soup to nuts. And this blog is a way for me to share the low carb love. Cheers!
