16. Ghostly Chicken Pot Pies
Enjoy a comforting, flaky chicken pot pie with a hauntingly beautiful presentation. Prepare a rich filling of shredded chicken, peas, carrots, and corn in a creamy gravy, and portion it into individual ramekins or oven-safe lunch containers. Instead of a traditional top crust, roll out puff pastry or pie dough and use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place the pastry ghosts on top of the filling, using a toothpick to poke small holes for the eyes and mouth, which will darken as they bake. Bake until the pastry is puffed, golden, and flaky, and the filling is bubbling. It is a warm, hearty lunch that brings gourmet comfort to the spooky season.
