🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, swap the cheddar and cream cheese for plant-based versions or use a creamy dairy-free sauce if you still want the same comfort-food feel. For gluten-free diets, replace the pasta with a gluten-free shape and use a gluten-free barbecue sauce; keep the chicken, green beans, chives, and chili pepper.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, extra steamed vegetables, or buttered corn to balance the smoky barbecue flavor and creamy pasta. Cornbread or soft rolls also fit well if you want a heartier plate.
