For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk, sour cream, and cheese alternatives that melt well, and skip any dairy-based garnish. For gluten-free needs, use GF pasta, breadcrumbs, and flour, and replace the wheat-based parts only.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted carrots, or buttered corn to round out the rich pasta and chicken. A chilled lemonade or sparkling water helps balance the spicy, creamy flavors.
