Ingredients
Chickpeas: Instead of vegan chicken or soy curls, I like to use chickpeas for my vegan pot pie. They make this recipe super simple and I always have a couple of cans in my pantry for making quick dinners like Vegan Chickpea Burgers or Harissa Carrots and Chickpeas.
Vegetables: This recipe is packed with onion, carrot, celery, potatoes and peas!
Vegan Cream Cheese: Vegan cream cheese makes the pot pie filling super creamy. My top recommendation for this recipe is Kite Hill cream cheese.
Vegetable Stock: I love to use Better Than Bullion.
Fresh Herbs: A combination of sage and thyme makes this recipe so flavorful. I do not recommend using dried herbs for this recipe.
Herb Biscuits: There are so many ways to make pot pie, from a double pie crust, to a puff pastry topping. But my favorite is a biscuit topping. So for this recipe, I mixed up a quick olive oil and herb drop biscuit recipe to top it all off with.
Instructions
Step 1. First, make the biscuit topping. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and herbs.
Next, a small bowl, combine non-dairy milk, extra virgin olive oil and vinegar.
Step 2. Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until a dough forms.
Set the biscuit topping aside while you make the filling.
Step 3. Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, carrot and potato and cook, stirring occasionally for 6-8 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Then, add the flour on top of the vegetables and stir it in to evenly distribute it.
Step 4. Add the vegetable stock, non-dairy cream cheese and herbs and stir until the cream cheese is completely incorporated.
Then, allow the mixture to come to a boil and allow it to boil for 1 minute.
Step 5. Turn the heat off, then add the drained and rinsed chickpeas and frozen peas and stir to distribute.
Step 6. Use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop or a spoon to evenly distribute 12 dollops of biscuit dough on top of the vegan chickpea pot pie filling.
Place the skillet onto a baking sheet and bake in a 425* F oven for 26-30 minutes or until the filling bubbles and the biscuits brown. Serve warm.
Recipe FAQs
Scoop the leftover pot pie into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the oven for best results.
Regular biscuits contain a little less liquid and require you to roll them out and cut them with a biscuit cutter.
Drop biscuits contain more liquid and are scooped from the bowl with a spoon or an ice cream scoop and dropped directly onto a baking sheet.
Expert Recipe Tips
Place the Vegan Chickpea Pot Pie skillet onto a baking sheet before putting it into the oven just in case anything bubbles out!
Do not use a skillet that is smaller than 10 inches in diameter. It will be too small. You can use up to a 12-inch skillet.
