chicken pot pie in electric roaster
Rita
02/05/11 		I would like to make a chicken pot pie, in my usual large casserole dish, and cook in the electric roaster on my covered porch, instead of my kitchen oven as it gets the house too hot while the pot pie is cooking. Will the pot pie cook the way it would in a conventional oven for the same length of time? thanks for any help

Thank you

I use frozen mixed vegetables, real chicken gravy and chicken; 6-7 chickens, simmered, use the broth for the gravy, 1 large bag of veggies per chicken. If you want potatoes, you can use diced frozen along with the other veggies.
