🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a nut-free version, replace the almond element with toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds; for gluten-free, swap the couscous for rice, quinoa, or a certified gluten-free grain. For dairy-free needs, this dish already suits you, and the chicken can be swapped for firm tofu if preferred.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or simple steamed greens to balance the sweet-tart glaze, plus warm bread for anyone wanting a heartier plate. A light white wine or sparkling water with citrus also fits the bright, savory flavors.
