Swaps and substitutions

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for extra chickpeas or pan-seared tofu and keep the rest of the bowl the same. To avoid dairy, replace the sour cream with a plain plant-based yogurt; for less heat, leave out the hot sauce.

What to serve with it

Serve with warm flatbread or pita to scoop up the rice, chickpeas, and sauce, plus a crisp cucumber salad to add freshness. Pickled vegetables or extra lemon on the side also work well to brighten the spiced, creamy flavors.
