Homemade chicken pot pie has to be the ultimate comfort food. It is warm, flavorful, and filling.
You might not consider chicken pot pie made with refrigerated or canned biscuits homemade, but I do. The best part of pot pie is the creamy sauce with vegetables and then the biscuit "crust," which has a bit of crunch on the top and softness in the middle.
