Vegan Chicken Pot Pie

This is classic, stick-to-your-ribs comfort food, vegan style!

Today, I’m sharing what has been my go-to method of preparing chicken pot pie for several years and, after making the switch to vegan ingredients, the response remains the same – this pie is completely devoured by the family every. single. time.

I’ve now even taken to “stretching” the meal a bit by serving it over fresh, hot biscuits.

Winner, winner!

How to Make Vegan Chicken Pot Pie

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken-style strips and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.

STEP TWO: Stir in carrots and celery. Sprinkle with garlic powder, poultry seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring for 3 minutes, until vegetables are slightly tender.

STEP THREE: Add peas and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a medium bowl.

STEP FOUR: In the same skillet used for the vegetables, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Stir in flour, salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and celery seed. Gradually add the chicken broth and milk 1 cup at a time, stirring after each addition. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Remove from heat.

STEP FIVE: Add the vegan chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat.

STEP SIX: Set one of the unbaked pie crusts on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the filling into the crust.

STEP SEVEN: On a floured surface, roll out the second pie crust and cut it into 3/4-inch wide strips. Arrange in a lattice pattern over the top of the pie. Use a knife to cut away the excess dough. Seal the edges by crimping them with your fingers or a fork. Use a knife to cut away any excess dough.

STEP EIGHT: Bake for about 35 minutes, or according to pie crust directions, until the crust is lightly golden brown. Let the pie stand for at least 10 minutes to set and serve hot.
