Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Crack Chicken Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 420°F (215°C) and lightly grease an 8x11 inch casserole dish with oil.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the vegan chicken and bacon, cooking for about 3–4 minutes until slightly browned and fragrant.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed chicken and bacon with non-dairy cream cheese, egg-free mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs. Blend until smooth.
  4. Transfer the creamy filling into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle vegan cheddar cheese over the mixture.
  5. Bake at 420°F (215°C) for about 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges start bubbling.
  6. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes, garnish with chopped scallions, and serve hot with salads or wraps.
