    Sunshine Chicken Pie

    Mary Lou Berndt
    Glasco native Mary Lou Berndt’s national prize-winning recipe, is a re-imagined chicken pot pie, where the carrots add golden color to the biscuits serving as the top crust, and the bright peas are almost like a topping. When Berndt shared the recipe in a guest column she wrote in 1980 for The Salina Journal, she described the pie as “almost a one-dish meal,” but suggested adding a leafy salad and a light dessert of sparkling water poured over melon balls.
