To make vegetarian: Replace chicken with more veggies such as chopped mushrooms, leeks, etc. Replace chicken broth with vegetable broth.

To make vegan: Replace chicken with veggies. Replace cream cheese with vegan cream cheese. Omit egg and can brush almond or soy milk on the top for better browning. Replace chicken broth with vegetable broth.
