🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for roasted mushrooms, eggplant, or extra peppers and keep the rest as is. For dairy-free needs, use a plant-based mozzarella and cream cheese, and choose a breadcrumb topping made without milk.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad or garlicky roasted broccoli to cut through the richness, plus warm bread if you want a more filling meal. A crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon also works nicely.
