"A warm, flaky, and hearty pot pie is the epitome of comfort. Whether made with chicken, chickpeas, seafood, or beef, the pot pie makes a lovely and wholesome meal. It takes some work to prepare from scratch, but you can always help the process along with store-bought ingredients or even choose from a number of popular frozen chicken pot pie brands to heat and serve."
"Though the first documented instance of a pot pie recipe dates all the way back to the late 1700s, it wasn't until 1951 that the C.A. Swanson company, known best as the inventor of the "TV Dinner," came out with the first known frozen pot pie. While some conflicting accounts attribute the pot pie's invention to Virginia Watjen and the now defunct Morton company just a few years prior,"
A warm, flaky pot pie can be made with chicken, chickpeas, seafood, or beef and can be prepared from scratch or with store-bought ingredients or frozen brands. The C.A. Swanson company introduced the first widely credited frozen pot pie in 1951 after popularizing the TV Dinner format. Some accounts attribute an earlier frozen pot pie to Virginia Watjen and the Morton company, but Swanson's continued presence helped secure credit. Swanson's frozen products symbolized cheap, convenient postwar foods amid advances in preservation and wider refrigerator ownership. Swanson now operates under Campbell's and is best known for broths, stocks, and ready-to-eat pouches.
