🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based butter, yogurt, and mozzarella-style alternative, then skip the Parmesan if needed. To avoid wheat, swap the pitas and breadcrumbs for gluten-free versions and serve the chicken with rice or potatoes instead.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables to balance the rich, spicy chicken, and add extra lemon wedges for brightness. A simple tomato side or chilled fruit salad also works well if you want a lighter plate.
