How to Make the Best Vegan Chicken Pot Pie

1. Preheat oven to 420 F.
2. Heat a large stockpot over high heat. Add the oil and wait until it shimmers. Add the onion and celery and cook until translucent.
3. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
4. Add flour and stir until well incorporated.
5. Add broth and stir. Simmer until filling has thickened.
6. Stir in the frozen peas and carrots and cubed plant-based chicken or tofu, and cook 5 minutes. 
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to slightly to cool.
8. Set out the ramekins. On a slightly floured surface, roll out the vegan pie crust. Cut 1/2 inch larger than the ramekins.
9. Brush a little melted vegan butter on top of the dough.
10. Spoon the filling in, within 1/4 inch from the top.
11. Cover with the pie crust, butter side up. Crimp the edges with your fingers. Make a few small slits in the pie crust.
12. Place on a baking sheet, and bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden.
13. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

How to Serve Vegan Chicken Pot Pie

This Vegan Chicken Pot Pie can be made individual sized or I have also used this recipe to make one (double crusted) pot pie in a 9″pie dish. I just adjust the cooking time (about 40 minutes) to allow for the crust to brown and crisp.
