Vegan Chicken Pot Pie Noodles

Today, I had a chicken pot pie noodles epiphany. First, I made a vegan version of what my grandma used to call chicken pot pie noodles. I distinctly remember the flavors and the ingredients, so I figured why not make it another one-pot wonder. My family, my test kitchen critics, loved my chicken pot pie noodles recipe. And, when they like my food, the world is a happy place. 

When my grandma made her chicken pot pie noodles, she always filled them with vegetables to trick my sister and me into eating as many vegetables as possible. So since I created a vegan version of her famous recipe, I used a variety of vegetables in conjunction with her recipe but gave it my vegan flare. 

DELICIOUS CHICKEN POT PIE NOODLES IN ONE POT IN UNDER 20

Even though I love to cook, sometimes I'm all about easy, one-pot meals. For that reason, chicken pot pie noodles are one of my new favorite last-minute meals. Making an entire meal in under 20 minutes while only dirtying one pot is a win-win! 

Whenever I create a new pasta dish, my goal is to add more vegetables than pasta. I generally shoot for a 2 to 1 ratio to highlight the veggies and eat little pasta. Then, I get the best of both worlds. 

WHAT VEGGIES ARE IN MY CHICKEN POT PIE NOODLE RECIPE?

First, I used a combination of fresh and frozen vegetables. But, substitute frozen vegetables if fresh vegetables aren't available.

THE VEGGIES I USED IN MY CHICKEN POT PIE NOODLES RECIPE 

• Garlic
• Onions
• Celery
• Carrots
• Mushroom
• Peas (Frozen)
• Thyme (fresh)

OTHER INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN POT PIE NOODLES

• Pasta of choice
• Vegetable broth (low-sodium)
• Trader Joe's Chicken Less Seasoning Salt (or substitute any poultry seasoning) 
• Arrowroot powder(or substitute corn starch or flour)
• Nutritional Yeast
• White wine (I used Chardonnay) (optional)
•  Chickpeas or Alpha Strips Grilled Chik'n Strips (optional)

It's an easy step-by-step process since all the ingredients cook in one pot. First, the garlic and onions are sauteed until the onions are translucent. 

Then, add the celery, mushrooms, and white wine and cook until the mushrooms are browned, and the moisture begins to dissipate. Next, add the carrots, pasta, nutritional yeast, and vegetable broth (minus ½ cup). Hold off on the frozen peas for now.

Once the mixture begins to boil, add the Trader Joe's Chicken Less Seasoning Salt and bring to a boil. The next step is to cover and reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the remaining ½ cup of vegetable broth and arrowroot powder. Or substitute cornstarch or flour for arrowroot powder. 

Trader Joe's Chicken Less Seasoning Salt is now one of my new favorite seasonings. Over time, my spice rack has become quite a display.

Before making my condiments and dressings, the doors of my refrigerator looked like a grocery store aisle of sauces.

Now, my pantry door looks like the spice shelves at Whole Foods. But, I must say, this new Trader Joe's product piqued my interest. 

But, don't worry, all poultry seasoning is vegan despite the word poultry in the name. 

Despite its fabulous flavor, use this seasoning sparingly. Because it's a seasoning SALT, and a little goes a long way because it is salty. Remember, you can always add seasoning, but you can't remove it once you've added too much.

In my opinion, there is nothing worse than making an entire recipe and realizing it is too salty or spicy for your taste.

For that reason, be cautious with any seasoning, adding a little at a time until you reach your preferences. 

For instance, my family loves it spicy, so I always provide additional sauce, dressing, or spice for everyone to choose spicy taste preferences regardless of how spicy a meal is. 

Once the chicken pot pie noodles are cooked, add the arrowroot powder mixed with the vegetable broth, thickening the sauce, and the frozen peas.

Sprinkle fresh thyme for another layer of flavor and a pretty garnish to top it off.
