Step-by-Step Instructions for Zombie Pot Pies
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in ¼ cup of flour for 1 minute.
  3. Slowly add 1 cup of chicken broth and ½ cup of milk until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken and 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Roll out puff pastry and cut into shapes larger than ramekins. Optionally, carve spooky faces into pastry pieces.
  6. Spoon filling into ramekins and cover with pastry, sealing the edges. Brush with egg wash and create steam slits.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the pies cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
