Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vegan chicken store-bought or chickpea-based homemade
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or thawed frozen, if you’re over it
  • ¾ cup unsweetened coconut cream
  • ½ cup vegan mozzarella shreds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour for texture and attitude
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice because zing matters
  • Optional: chili flakes if you're extra

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and grease that casserole dish like it's your self-esteem.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium and sauté spinach until it shrinks into nutritional responsibility.
  • Toss in vegan chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until it’s flirting with golden.
  • In a bowl, mix coconut cream, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and almond flour. Stir like you mean it.
  • Combine creamy mixture with the skillet contents. Blend everything until it smells like dinner victory.
  • Pour into the casserole dish, top with mozzarella shreds like it’s a Bravo finale.
  • Bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until bubbling and lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven, let sit for 5 minutes (if you have patience).
  • Garnish with red pepper flakes or parsley to impress yourself.
  • Serve hot and act like you didn’t almost eat it straight from the dish.
