🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, use a plant-based mozzarella and a dairy-free pesto, or skip the cheese and rely on extra herbs and lemon for flavor. For a lower-carb plate, swap the rice for cauliflower rice, and if heat is a concern, leave out the chili flakes.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or garlicky broccoli to balance the rich pesto chicken and add freshness. Warm bread or a simple tomato side also works well with the lemony rice and roasted carrots.
