Small Batch Chicken Pot Pie (2024)

This small batch Chicken Pot Pie for Two is creamy and delicious with a flaky pastry crust. It is the perfect amount of food for two people. It is comfort food at it’s finest.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

When we became empty nesters I found that I stopped making a lot of my favorite comfort foods because the original recipes made too much food. I don’t mind leftovers for one night, but not for five nights!

So I started scaling down some of my favorite comfort food recipes to feed just the two of us and now I can enjoy them whenever I want. I’ve taken my favorite chicken pot pie recipe and reduced it down for two people.

Pot Pie Crust

This recipe uses a pastry pie crust. Now, I love a homemade pie crust and when I make my own pie crust I always use my perfect pie crust recipe. But sometimes, you just don’t have time for homemade and that’s when a store-bought pie crust works just fine! I buy the kind you find in a roll in the refrigerator section.

Be sure and let your pie crust sit out for a while to come to room temperature so that when you roll it out, it doesn’t crack and fall apart.

How to Make a Chicken Pot Pie for Two

• Spray a 9 x 5 inch bread pan or similar size dish with non stick spray and line the pan with the pie crust, allow the edges to hang over the sides of the pan.
• Keep pie curst covered with a towel or plastic wrap as you prepare the filling.

• Saute carrots, celery and onion in olive oil until fork tender in a saucepan or frying pan. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add in butter and flour and stir to fork a roux.

• Whisk in chicken broth and milk, bring to a low boil.

• Add in seasoning. Simmer, allowing gravy to slightly thicken over medium heat.
• Stir in chicken and vegetables.

• Pour mixture into pan lined with pastry.
• Fold pastry over the top of the filling.
• Optional: To make the crust shiny, brush the crust with an egg wash before baking.

• Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly and pastry crust is golden brown.
• Allow to sit for a few minutes before serving.
