Microwave pot pies and other pot pies are healthy to eat in moderation.

However eating too many microwave pot pies or any other pot pies can be unhealthy and fattening.

The healthiest microwave pot pie is the chicken pot pie.

Chicken pot pies are the healthiest of the pot pies because they contain some ingredients that are full of protein, as well as vegetables that also have healthy benefits, like vitamins.

Pot pie is the North American term for a type of meat pie with a top pie crust that is commonly used throughout the continent, and is most often found in the United States and Canada consisting of flaky pastry.

The big difference between pot pies and meat pies is that meat pies are fully enclosed, with a top and bottom crust or a folded-over pastry, and the filling is thick, never soupy.

The name pot pies came from the pie being made aboard ships.

 In 1951, the first frozen pot pie was created by the C.A. Swanson company and was made with chicken.

Other versions of pot pies have toppings made of mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, cornbread, biscuits and more.

Chicken pot pie is a quintessential comfort food.

Made up of rich gravy, crunchy veggies, and lots of chicken inside of a flaky crust, it's the perfect thing to warm you up in the colder months, but it can also be time-consuming to make from scratch, which is why there are so many options on the frozen pot pie market.

In the South, some folks make a distinction between chicken pie and chicken pot pie.

Chicken pies, also known as “chicken and pastry,” are the savory versions of fruit pies or cobblers, made with homemade crust and no, or very few, vegetables.

Chicken pot pies typically include vegetables and have a top crust only.
