I would give a 5 star for the meal itself. But the recipe direction was messy for to use a whisk. I used a electric whisk. It was the only thing I had. So I had to immediately stop using the electric whisk & go roux way. The way to make roux is to slowly add the liquid into the olive or melted butter in a frying pan until all liquid (broth and almond milk with spice mix) is used up. I ended up only using 3 Tbsp of flour instead of 1/4 cup.

This worked PERFECTLY for a substitute in my favorite chicken/broccoli/rice casserole. I am so happy to be able to make it and keep it dairy-free! Can’t wait to try it in other recipes to substitute. Thank you so much.

Thank you! I thought my chicken pot pies were a thing of the past until I found this recipe. It's perfect: rich, creamy, and flavorful!
