Vegetarian Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

CHICKLESS POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots, peas, potatoes and celery. Cover with water, bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onions in the butter substitute until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, celery seed and garlic powder. Cook for 2 minutes to get the flour taste out. Slowly stir in the broth and then add the milk. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the drained vegetables. Roll out one of the unbaked crusts and place in a 9-inch-deep pie plate. Pour the mixture into the bottom crust.
• Roll out the second pie crust and place on top. Seal the edges and cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a 3- to 4-quart Dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan. When it foams, add fennel, onions, and carrots, and cook until just soft and onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and potato, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring rarely, until mushrooms have let off water and are shrunken, about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir to coat, and cook until raw flavor is gone, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully add broth and milk, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add peas, herbs, and vinegar, and stir to coat. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Turn filling into an 8 by 8-inch baking dish.
• Whisk egg together with 2 teaspoons water and a pinch of salt until evenly mixed. Set aside.
• With kitchen shears, cut dough to fit over the baking dish. Place dough over filling and tuck into the edges of the dish. Brush dough with egg wash and cut slits in the top to vent. Place on a baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and mixture is bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.

VEGETARIAN "CHICKEN" POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375℉. Put vegetable stock in a pan & heat to a simmer. It must be boiling when added. Brown "chicken" in a skillet with 1T oil. Season with salt & pepper. Remove from the pan & set aside. Make a roux by melting butter, adding flour, and whisking constantly until light brown in color. Set aside. In large stock pot, cook onions in oil for 5 minutes or until they begin to become clear, then add carrots, thyme, salt & pepper. Cook another 5 minutes or so. Add boiling stock and cook another 5 minutes. Whisk in nutritional yeast. Add in the roux a bit at a time and continue to cook as the sauce thickens. Finally add the "chicken", soy sauce and peas. Remove from heat and let cool a bit. Roll out one pie crust and line a 9" deep dish pie plate. Add the cooled pie filling, and top with the second pie crust. Cut some air slits into the top crust. Bake for about an hour, or until the top is nicely browned and the filling is bubbling a bit. You could omit the bottom crust and simply use a top crust if desired. You could also make small individual pies, but limit the baking time to about half an hour if you do this. I haven't tried this, so the baking time is an estimate.
