Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups diced chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Pie Crust
- Pie crust dough (enough to line and cover a 9-inch pie dish)
- Additional plant-based butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Sauté chopped onion, celery, and carrots in plant-based butter until softened. Add diced chicken and cook until browned. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to coat. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent. Cook while stirring until thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Assemble the Pie: Roll out pie crust dough on a floured surface. Place the filling evenly into a pie dish lined with crust. Cover with the top crust and seal the edges by pinching them together tightly. Cut small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the assembled pot pie for 30 to 35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and flaky. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.
Notes
- Dice vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
- Do not overfill the pie to prevent spills during baking.
- Chill pie dough before assembling for flakier crust.
- Use cold plant-based butter in the dough for better texture.
- Allow the pie to rest after baking for the filling to set properly.
