I love creating recipes that warm my home and fill the kitchen with enticing aromas during the colder months. This recipe is a plant-based version of a traditional chicken pot pie. I have made this recipe more health-conscious by using only plant-based ingredients and reducing the fat and sodium by avoiding cream-based soups for the filling. Even though this recipe is a healthier alternative to the original it still delivers the comfort and flavor of the traditional recipe.
For the vegan chicken, I use my recipe but feel free to use store-bought or substitute in tofu. If you would like to incorporate more whole grains use spelt or whole wheat flour for the biscuit topping.
