INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
CHICKEN:
- We have to use cooked shredded chicken, as it provides lean protein and a hearty texture. As a replacement, you can use shredded turkey or cooked salmon.
SWEET POTATOES:
- We utilize roasted sweet potatoes, which naturally contribute fiber and flavor. Pumpkin or butternut squash may be utilized in their replacement.
BROCCOLI:
- Use steamed broccoli, as it adds nutrients and a tender-crisp texture. As a substitute, you can use cauliflower, kale, or Brussels sprouts.
GREEK YOGURT:
- To boost protein and create a creamy texture, we choose  Greek yogurt. You can substitute it with unsweetened coconut yogurt.
