In the 16th century, the English gentry revived the custom of serving pies and the tradition soon swept the country.

During the reign of Elizabeth I, English cooks made pies using “chicken peepers,” which consisted of chicks stuffed with gooseberries.

[6] There are numerous other types of pot pies including taco, coconut curry chicken, and steak and mushroom.

Pennsylvania Dutch pot pie is a different definition of pot pie: a stew without a full crust, but with a biscuit topping that is traditionally baked directly atop the stew, in similar manner to a cobbler casserole.

[11] Most commonly made with chicken, it usually includes homemade dumpling-style dough noodles and potatoes, and sometimes vegetables such as carrots or celery.
