🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free or nut-free version, use a pesto made without cheese or nuts, since the dish includes both milk and tree nuts. If you avoid poultry, swap the chicken for firm tofu or chickpeas, keeping the same lemony, savory profile.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, steamed asparagus, or warm crusty bread if gluten is not a concern. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon also fits the bright, savory flavors.
