Hi girls,
If you wanted to put chicken in the bake, at what stage would you put it in? And at what temperature?
Thank you
Lucy says

Anita Rotheram says
This recipe can be veganized by replacing the dairy products:
Vegan "cheese" shreds instead of cheese
Avocado or olive oil instead of butter
Grain or nut milk instead of cow's milk
Ask if you can offer tested vegan alternative ingredients as an option wherever dishes can be fully veganized?
Thanks!

Sam says
The picture shows corn kernels, but the recipe doesn’t call for any...
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Sam, you can absolutely use corn (I generally use about 1 cup). xx
