Can this be made in a pot looks good
Hi Mary Jane! Absolutely you can make this in a pot! Combine your ingredients in an oven-safe casserole dish or dutch oven, reducing the liquid to 2/3 of the amount called for. The recipe calls for 10-12 hours on low in the crock pot so you will need about 2 hours in the oven at 350. If there is too much liquid in the pot after the time is up, you can ladle it off or remove the lid and return the pot to the oven for 15-30 minutes so a little more fluid can evaporate. Please make sure to use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of your chicken prior to serving to ensure it is cooked through. Let us know how it turns out!
