⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken with ground meat without adjusting cooking times and fat calculations. Avoid replacing brown rice with white rice (nutritional loss) or quinoa (different calorie density). Do not omit supplements—this recipe is nutritionally incomplete without them. Consult your veterinarian before making any ingredient changes.
