Swaps and substitutions
For a nut-free version, skip the pistachios and use toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for similar crunch. To make it dairy-free or vegan-friendly, swap the chicken for extra chickpeas and use a plant-based mayo or yogurt-style sauce if needed.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm flatbread or pita to scoop up the chicken, rice, and sauce, plus a simple leafy salad or roasted vegetables for extra crunch and freshness. A lemony yogurt drink or mint tea fits the spices well and keeps the meal balanced.
