Is this dish suitable for a gluten-free diet?
Yes. Chicken, brown rice, and most sauce components are naturally gluten-free, but check labels and avoid gluten-containing thickeners if used.
Can I make it dairy-free or vegan?
Dairy-free: use oil or a plant-based butter substitute. For vegan: replace chicken with tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth.

Brown rice provides more fiber and nutrients than white rice, supporting digestion and fullness.

How should I store leftovers and reheat them?
Cool quickly and refrigerate within two hours; keeps 2–3 days. Reheat gently until hot throughout.
Can I substitute chicken with turkey or fish?
Yes. Turkey is a similar protein; fish can work too, but cooking times may differ; ensure it is fully cooked.
