Join the discussionSounds yummy and easy to veganize.
I was thinking the same thing! I bet cauliflower instead of chicken would be divine!
Let us know if you try the cauliflower!
This looks absolutely amazing! Would I be able to substitute organic canned pumpkin for the purée?
Yes you definitely can!
This was great! I used canned pumpkin (I had some in the cupboard I needed to use up), but it still turned out great. We’ll be having this again!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Substitute sweet potato?
Yes Rachel – let us know how it turns out
Substitute for coconut milk, since i don’t have any and the hubs is. Already on his way home from the store??
Hi Rebecca, if you can do dairy, you could use regular milk or heavy cream. If not, maybe almond milk? Whatever you try, let us know how it works out!
Yes, we can do dairy. My son is allergic to eggs though so this sounds great! And different. Thank you and will do!!
This looks really “saucy”… Is it just the picture? Or is there a way to have less sauce?
Yes Laura – it is fairly saucy. You could easily cut down on the liquid ingredients (chicken stock, coconut milk) to make it thicker.
canned coconut milk or in the carton refrigerated?
Hi Sherri! It is canned coconut milk.
Hi! I saw that 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 Tbls of Olive Oil are in the ingredient list, but not included in the recipe. I added the garlic to my skillet of everything else and just left out the Olive Oil. I’m guessing it will still be delicious!
Yes, I think it will still be delicious. Thanks for the heads up- I’ll get the directions adjusted!
What could i substitute for the coconut milk? I am anaphylactic to coconut.
Thanks
Stephanie – You could substitute the coconut milk with almond milk, or even regular dairy milk.
