I used to love chicken pot pies growing up (easy for kids to cook themselves naturally) and probably ate them too frequently. I loved how crispy and tasty the crust was on them. I was surprised to find a vegan version of this traditional pot pie and thought I’d try it out.
Honestly it’s not my favorite from Amy’s Kitchen, but I do commend them for trying to make this vegan pot pie lower in fat and healthier than the original. However the crust is a little hard and dry when you bake it up and not very delicious. Inside the tofu has a chicken-like flavour but there seems to be more crust than filling. I think I’ll skip trying to make vegan pot pies myself and opt for a hearty veggie stew instead when I get a craving for something like this.
Ingredients and directions.
Nutritional Information
Taking it out of the package
I tried to get a picture of the insides so I broke into the crust with my fork, but you can tell it’s got a lot of empty space in there. For around the same calories I’d pick Amy’s Bean & Rice burrito as it’s a little more filling and satisfying. If you have a craving for a vegan version of chicken pot pie, this may do it for you though.

Would I eat it again? Probably not. It’s mostly dough and hardly any filling. The gravy is supposed to be the best part and it’s very dry overall.
What could be improved? More sauce, more filling!
