This creamy mushroom, vegan chicken, spinach and potato skillet is oh-so-hearty and delish. Perfect for autumn or winter dinners, this saucy skillet of plant-based comfort food makes an awesome pie filling, too! The below recipe makes a batch of around 3-4 servings, so you’ll have yummy leftovers for lunch, too!

This recipe is ideal with a bowl of rice, and of course I promise I won’t judge if you slather it all over some fluffy white grains! There are many tasty variations for this base recipe which include:

  • Serving over baked potatoes 
  • Used as a puff pastry filling
  • Serving over a bed of mash
  • Pouring over a bowl of polentb
  • Mixing up with noodles to make a saucy bowl of penne pasta
  • Using as a base for a bechamel bake like this.

If you make this as often as I do, you can start playing around with ingredients for variety. Try adding a few of the following:

  • Chickpeas
  • White beans
  • Broccoli
  • Baby carrots
  • Peas
  • Cubed potatoes
  • Sliced courgette
