Ingredients

4 cups cubed cooked chicken
4 cups frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of onion soup, undiluted
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 slices rye bread
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Place bread in a food processor; cover and process to make crumbs. Sprinkle over chicken mixture. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly.
Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, unfold pastry sheet. Using a small floured ghost-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 12 ghosts. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Remove potpie from the oven; set aside and keep warm. Bake ghosts at 400° for 10 minutes or until puffy and golden brown. Top each serving with a ghost; serve immediately.

The hardest part of this recipe was trying to decide which type of frozen mixed vegetables I wanted to use.I'm in Canada, and found it hard to find sheets of puff pastry to use (maybe it's just my grocery store), so I substituted some Pillsbury Biscuits instead. My husband and I loved it!

My family really liked this recipe. I didn't make the ghosts but just baked the pastry then cut into squares and using one square on the bottom, a layer of baked chicken mixture, and then a square on top. It was the perfect meal to serve on a rainy cold autumn night. Will make again.
