Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free, use plant-based cream cheese and cheddar-style shreds, or swap in a creamy nondairy sauce. For gluten-free, choose gluten-free pasta and serve with a gluten-free side instead of wheat-based options.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or sliced tomatoes to balance the rich, smoky chicken and creamy pasta. Cornbread or roasted vegetables also fit well if you want a heartier plate.
