Vegan Chicken & Mushroom Bites
These utterly delicious nibbles are the perfect savoury bake for a Christmas or party spread and are super simple to make!
This is one of those recipes that you can flex to suit your taste (and cupboard too)! Instead of mushrooms and peppers switch it up to use diced potato and leek as your filling and try using different flavoured stock cubes too!
This recipe uses Quorn Vegan Pieces and makes 12 bites, but you can simply adjust the quantities to suit your needs.
