This vegan chicken pot pie casserole is rich, creamy, and well-seasoned. It has the same hearty, comforting flavor as a traditional chicken pot pie, but without any of the meat or dairy. You can even make it gluten-free!

Chicken pot pies are one of the most comforting foods around. They’re warm, soothing, creamy, and hearty, with lots of familiar flavors. Unfortunately, they’re usually packed full of dairy and meat. So I decided to come up with a vegan recipe that hits all of the same flavors. And I decided to make it a casserole, which is a little easier than making individual pot pies, and much more convenient for serving a family.
This vegan pot pie casserole, made with meatless chicken, carrots, and potatoes, is so filling. And it’s full of strong flavors from the garlic, thyme, and black pepper. This recipe will be a hit with anyone you serve it to, not just vegans! Plus, you can easily make it gluten-free as well.

How to Make Vegan Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Here’s how to make this hearty and rich pot pie.
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 425F, and lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Prepare the chicken. Follow the instructions on the package to cook the vegan chicken.
- Prepare the puff pastry. Place the puff pastry on a piece of parchment paper and roll it out until it’s a little bit larger than the casserole dish. Place the casserole dish upside-down on the puff pastry and trim the pastry so that it fits the dish. Cut a few holes in the center of the puff pastry for ventilation.

- Freeze the puff pastry. Carefully lift up the parchment paper with the puff pastry, and place it on a baking sheet, then put the baking sheet in the freezer while you continue with the recipe.
- Cook the veggies. Heat a dutch oven over medium heat and add the oil. Then add the carrots, onion, celery, and potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and celery are tender. This should take about 10 minutes.
- Add the flour and seasonings. Add the flour, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper to the dutch oven and cook for 2 more minutes, while stirring.

- Add the liquid. Pour the vegetable broth and dairy-free milk into the dutch oven, and stir until a smooth sauce forms, then remove from the heat.

- Add the chicken and peas. Pour the vegan meat and the green peas into the mixture, and stir to combine.

- Pour the filling. Transfer the vegan pot pie filling into the casserole dish.
- Add the puff pastry. Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and place it on top of the pot pie filling.

- Bake. Put the casserole dish on a baking sheet, and put the baking sheet in the oven. Cook until the puff pastry is just golden brown, which should take about 35 minutes.
Tips for Success
Here are some of my favorite tricks and tips for making this hearty casserole.
- Make your own broth. If you want to really take this vegan chicken pot pie casserole to the next level, you can do so by making your own vegetable broth. Homemade veggie broth is a lot more flavorful than what you’ll find in the store, so making your own broth really adds to the complexity of this dish. Here’s my recipe for a vegetable stock that uses veggie scraps.
- Make consistent cuts. When cutting the vegetables for this recipe, try to cut them all to similar sizes. That way the veggies will cook at the same speed, and you won’t have a pot pie that has some overcooked or undercooked vegetables.
- Add whatever veggies you want. Potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, and peas are the standard vegetables for chicken pot pie, but feel free to clean out your fridge by using up whatever spare veggies you have around the house. You can put almost any veggies in this dish and they’ll taste great!

What to Serve With Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Since this recipe is rich and hearty, it goes best with two things: a light salad and bread. Here are my favorite dishes to make when having vegan chicken pot pie casserole.

Vegan Chicken Pot Pie Casserole https://jessicainthekitchen.com/vegan-chicken-pot-pie-casserole/ January 10, 2023
These vegan crunchwrap supremes are a bunch of fun to make. And with seasoned vegan crumbles and melty vegan cheese sauce, they’re even more fun to eat!

Vegan crunchwrap supremes are one of my new go-to meals. They check all my boxes. They’re bursting with flavor from spices, a gooey vegan cheese sauce, and fresh veggies. They also only take 20 minutes to make, and they’re all kinds of fun.
This recipe is fast Mexican food taken to a new level. It’s crunchy, it’s mouth-watering, and it’s just like Taco Bell … except way better!
Why You’ll Love These Vegan Crunchwrap Supremes
This is one of my favorite recipes, and I’m guessing it will soon be one of your favorites, too. Here’s some of my favorite things about it.
- Fast food at home. Let’s be honest: we all have a soft spot for places like Taco Bell. And these vegan crunchwrap supremes satisfy those cravings, but at home. They’re just like the Taco Bell version, except vegan, and you can make them all yourself!
- Super fresh ingredients. These crunchwraps are made with vegan meat crumbles, vegan cheese, crisp iceberg lettuce, and juicy tomatoes. They’re just as good as the fast food version, and the best part is that you know exactly what’s in them!
- Your friends will be impressed. Next time you’re with your friends, tell them you made crunchwrap supremes at home. Better yet, show them a picture! Then watch how quickly they invite themselves over for dinner.

Notes on Ingredients
Here are all the ingredients you need to make vegan crunchwrap supremes at home. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the article for the exact amounts of each ingredient.
- Flour tortillas – Make sure you buy the burrito size tortillas.
- Tostada shells
- Vegan meat crumbles – The vegan meat should be cooked before you start this recipe.
- Water
- Taco seasoning
- Vegan cheese sauce – This is my favorite recipe .
- Lettuce – You should use shredded iceberg lettuce.
- Tomatoes
- Vegan sour cream
What Is Taco Seasoning?
Taco seasoning is a spice blend that you can find at any grocery store. Every brand’s blend of spices for taco seasoning is different, but they usually include onion, garlic, paprika, chili, and oregano. You can always make your own taco seasoning if you don’t have the premade blend.
How to Make Vegan Crunchwrap Supremes
Here’s how to make this fun Mexican dish.
- Season the meat crumbles. Add the vegan meat crumbles, water, and taco seasoning to a skillet and cook on medium-high heat until the water evaporates. Stir the mixture occasionally as it cooks.

- Start assembling. Place roughly ¼ of the vegan meat mixture on top of a tortilla. Spread the mixture in a circle that is roughly the same size as your tostada shells.
- Add the cheese. Pour some of the gooey vegan cheese sauce over the vegan meat.

- Add the tostada. Place a tostada on top of the cheese sauce.
- Add sour cream. Spread sour cream over the top of the tostada.

- Top with veggies. Put the lettuce on top of the sour cream, and then put the tomatoes on top of the lettuce.

- Fold. Carefully fold the tortilla around the fillings. If it doesn’t quite cover the fillings, you can tear a small piece off of another tortilla.
- Seal. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap in the skillet, folded side down. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes. Then serve!

Tips for Success
Here are some tricks and tips for making the best vegan crunchwrap supremes.
- Warm the tortillas. Before assembling, briefly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. If the tortilla is warm, you’ll have an easier time folding it without ripping it.
- Keep your hands wet. When folding the crunchwrap, make sure that your hands are a little bit damp. This will make it easier for you to work with the dry tortilla.
- Use chips if you need to. If you can’t find tostada shells, don’t worry! Just place tortilla chips in the shape of a circle instead.

Variations
Here are some fun ways that you can switch up these vegan crunchwrap supremes.
- Replace the vegan meat crumbles. If you don’t feel like eating vegan meat, or if you don’t have any, then replace the crumbles with black beans, refried beans, roasted cauliflower, or roasted potatoes.
- Use shredded vegan cheese . Vegan cheese sauce is one of my favorite foods, but shredded cheese is pretty darn good too. If you prefer vegan shredded cheese, you can use it instead of the cheese sauce. Or better yet, you can use both! I recommend putting shredded vegan cheese underneath the vegan meat crumbles, so that it will melt better.
- Add some fun toppings. These vegan crunchwrap supremes taste fantastic as-is, but it’s always fun to add new ingredients to them. When you’re adding the vegan sour cream, lettuce, and tomatoes, add some of your other favorite toppings, like salsa, hot sauce, guacamole, cilantro, green onions, or pickled jalapeños.

How to Store Vegan Crunchwrap Supremes
You can store these crunchwraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. That said, this recipe really doesn’t store very well. The corn tortilla will get soggy, and the flour tortilla will get mushy. I recommend only making as many vegan crunchwrap supremes as you intend on serving.
Can I Freeze This Recipe?
I don’t recommend freezing these crunchwrap supremes. But if you do, they’ll last in an airtight container in the freezer for 3 months. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and cook in a 350F oven for 5-10 minutes.
