Chicken Potpie Crumble

I am obsessed with comfort food. It's just sooooooo gooood. Really. I love chicken potpie, chicken and dumplings, mac and cheese, all sorts of delicious tasty things that are not at all good for you. But I have to say, that chicken potpie just may be my favorite.

I love the potpies with the flaky pie crust, but I kid you not, with this crumble, you won't think twice about the pie crust. It's amazing. Warm, cozy, buttery, delicousness. I dare you try it.
