  • 2 celery stalks 
  • 2 medium white potatoes (Optional) 
  • 3 large cloves of garlic 
  • 3 large peeled carrots 
  • 1 cup of diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup of diced onions
  • 2 zucchini 
  • 4 cups of chicken broth 
  • 4 cups of water
  • ¼ cup of tomato sauce 
  • 2 lime wedges 

Step 1) Prepare Chicken Breast 

Start by cutting the 4 chicken breasts in half, or even in quarters if you want them to be as small as possible when the dish is ready. This will help them to cook a lot faster than the whole chicken. 

While doing this, also make sure that all your vegetables have been thoroughly washed so that they are ready to consume when it’s time to start preparing them.

Step 2) Boil Chicken Broth

Step 3) Cook Garlic And Onions

While the chicken boils, cook the onions and garlic on medium heat in a small skillet for around 3 minutes before adding in the diced tomatoes.

This will add a slightly tangy taste to the broth mixture which creates a very vibrant and unique overall flavor that Keto Caldo de Pollo is so well known for. 

Step 4) Mix Other Ingredients With Chicken Broth 

Once the 30 minutes are up and the chicken is looking nicely cooked. Remove it from the mixture in the pot using a pair of tongs. Proceed by adding in the carrots, celery, zucchini, and potatoes. The mixture reduces the heat slightly so that you can get as much flavor out of this healthy mixture as possible by cooking them slowly. 

Let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, or let it boil for a few minutes longer if you want all the veg and added ingredients to be a little crunchier than usual. 

Step 5) Add Chicken To The Mixture 

Once the mixture has blended nicely it’s time to add in the chicken pieces along with a little tomato sauce to add even more flavor into the dish.

Mix all the ingredients with a wooden spoon until you get a nice and creamy mixture.

Step 6) Serve With Lime Wedges 

After a few minutes of mixing, your Keto Caldo de Pollo will be piping hot and ready to serve. If you want to add a hint of tangy sweetness to the taste, serve alongside a few lime wedges to make this mouthwatering dish that much more enjoyable when it’s time to tuck in.
