Keto French Chicken Provencal
Chicken Provencal is a French dish from Provence that celebrates the regional produce. Tender chicken is browned and slowly braised in a delicious wine sauce with shallots, plump cherry tomatoes, olives, garlic, and herbs until nice and juicy. The white wine takes this dish to the next level, so make sure you use a brand you enjoy drinking. While chicken Provencal sounds fancy, it is one of the easiest French Keto recipes anyone can master.
What chicken parts can you use for this Keto stew?
Authentic chicken Provencal can include breasts, wings, thighs, and drumsticks, all bone-in and skin-on. We opted for boneless skin-on chicken thighs for a mess-free meal. Feel free to choose the chicken cuts you prefer.
What can you serve this dinner with?
This French chicken dish is low in carbs, leaving you plenty to play around with for side dishes. You can pair this meal with other Keto foods like zesty lemon noodles or cauliflower rice. Keep it simple with steamed broccoli, sauteed asparagus, or roasted brussel sprouts.
Can you omit the coconut flour?
Coating the chicken pieces in coconut flour yields meat that’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flour traps the moisture inside the chicken and absorbs some of the braising liquid, resulting in extra-flavorful chicken.
Is this dish suitable for meal prep?
This Keto chicken Provencal is a perfect Low-Carb meal prep recipe because it allows you to cook a large batch without 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, or reheat it in the microwave.

Easy to make and rich in flavor. I know it's weird but I don't like olives so I used avocado oil in lieu of olive oil and omitted the olives but added baby Bella mushrooms. I know that's a bit of taking the Provencal out of the dish but it was quite delicious. I knocked the recipe down one star because I find it frustrating when the ingredient list does not match the pictures in the cooking process. The written recipe called for four chicken thighs but the photographs show six. Likewise the ingredients call for onion and the photographs show red onion. I used six chicken thighs because I had them on hand and I did use red onion even though I know that increases the carbs a bit. With regard to the other ingredients, I kept the same measurements and there was ample flavor and sauce for six thighs. I served mine with Keto Skillet Bread ( recipe from this app) which I reheated in an air fryer to get a crispy biscuit-like texture all around. It was a very satisfying and flavorful meal.
