Notes

The post also gives a standard variation with a carton of chicken bone broth and a vegan variation using 3 tbsp olive oil instead of butter and 500 ml vegetable stock. Its note suggests swapping chickpeas for chicken thigh or breast for more protein. Amounts for sun-dried tomatoes, chickpeas, orzo, spinach, coconut milk tin size, and seasonings are not fully specified. The post does not specify detailed cooking temperatures or the final assembly technique.
