Tofu Chicken Pot Pie

February 19, 2023

Tofu Chicken Pot Pie

A wholesome comforting homemade Tofu Chicken Pot Pie, made with an easy 5 minute crust and creamy vegetable filling.

These pies feature a super simple press in pie crust that comes together in no time. There is no need to buy processed grocery store crusts! You will seriously not believe how easy these fail-proof healthy pie crusts are to make. They will definitely become a staple in your vegan recipe repertoire.

One of the best features of this pot pie recipe is that you can make each component ahead of time. Simply make the pie crusts, tofu chicken, and vegetable filling ahead of time and store each separately in the refrigerator or freezer, and then assemble and bake for a wholesome dinner.

This vegan and dairy-free Tofu Chicken Pot Pie can also easily be made gluten free! So it’s a great option for all dietary restrictions.

These plant-based Mint Pesto & Vegan Ricotta Shells are filled with a rich vegan ricotta cheese and mint basil pesto.

Italian vegan cuisine is a favourite of mine and this stuffed shells recipe really achieves an authentic Italian food taste. It all comes down to combination of the zingy fresh mint pesto with the rich vegan ricotta mixture. 

This recipe makes 2 pans of stuffed shells. Fun fact: My husband and I almost ate the entire 2 pans in one night to ourselves! 🤫
