<p>What is a classic chicken pot pie? It starts with a scratch sauce that’s made easily with just a few ingredients. We’ll show you how to master this sauce, even if it’s your first time making it. The fresh, flavorful sauce becomes the rich and luscious savory pie filling when mixed with cooked chicken and veggies. All this goodness gets tucked inside tender, flaky pie crust, for a decadent homemade chicken pot pie that beckons all to the table. It’s a perfect dinner to serve when the nights turn cold, as its comforting qualities warm you from the inside out.</p> <p>Pot pies have roots going back to the early years of Egypt, when they were prepared for the pharaohs and the recipes were discovered written on tomb walls. Early on, they weren’t referred to as pies, but rather “coffins” because they contained meat, rather than sweet fillings. Both the savory fillings and the crusts have evolved over time, being perfected along the way as more ingredients and better techniques have been applied.</p> <p>We have an entire collection of <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/dishes/casserole-and-pot-pie-recipes/chicken-pot-pie-recipes">pot pie recipes</a>.
