SERVES 8
SUBMITTED BY SAMANTHA HAMILTON

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Put potatoes in a small saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, uncovered, until just fork-tender, about 8 minutes; drain.

2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until a paste forms, about 1 minute more.

3. Pour in broth and milk; bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in chicken, peas and carrots, and cooked potatoes.

4. Press 1 pie crust into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch deepdish pie plate. Pour chicken mixture into crust. Top with remaining pie crust; press edges together to seal. Cut several slits (or decorative cutouts) in top crust. Put pie on a baking sheet.
