Shortcut Chicken Pot Pie Recipe | Cook in Microwave & Oven

[babywings76]

I really like the Chicken Pot Pie from the DCB cookbook. I'm making it again tonight and was just wondering if you think I could shorten the cooking time. It's a recipe for the oven, but I'm thinking that maybe I'd do just about the whole thing in the microwave, but then put the puff pastry on the top after a while and just finish it in the oven for a certain amount of time...(however long puff pastry takes to brown.) What do you think?

Where did the delete thread button go?! I looked more closely at the recipe and realize that there really isn't a way to shorten the baking time. It's 40 minutes and the puff pastry last time was perfect when I baked it that amount. I nuked it all about 5 minutes before putting the puff pastry on, but I'm thinking it's still going to take 40 min. in the oven. We'll see.But I feel silly asking this question now and wish I could delete the thread. :blushing:
