Useful swaps

  • Use gluten-free flour if needed.
  • Skip feta and use a dairy-free yogurt sauce for a dairy-free version.

Why this is a good weeknight call

It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
