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.

pot pie for two

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.

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.

Chicken Pot Pie Filling Ingredients

  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Peas (optional)
  • Chicken broth
  • Cooked Chicken
  • Flour
  • Thyme
  • Butter
  • Milk
  • Lemon Juice
  • Soy Sauce
  • Parsley
  • Onion

How to Cook Chicken

When you add the chicken into the pot pie, it needs to be cooked. Here are some of my favorite ways to cook chicken needed in recipes.

  • How to Cook Chicken in the Microwave
  • Instant Pot Shredded Chicken
  • Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken

How to Make a Chicken Pot Pie for Two

  • Spray a 9 x 5 inch bread pan 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. Remove from pan.
  • 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. Allow gravy to slightly thicken.
  • Stir in chicken and vegetables.

  • Pour mixture into pan lined with pastry.
  • Fold pastry over the top of the filling.

  • 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.

How to Freeze and Bake pot pie

I would recommend freezing it before baking it. Cover so that it is air tight to prevent freezer burn. Use a layer of plastic wrap and then a layer of foil. It can be frozen for up to two months. You can bake it frozen or thawed. If baking frozen cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees F. for 20 – 25 minutes covered and 20-25 minutes uncovered or until hot and bubbly and golden brown.

For more recipes for two try one of these:

  • Lasagna for Two
  • Small Batch 30 Minute Rolls for Two
  • Mini Strawberry Pie
  • Small Batch Pancakes
  • Small Batch Cheesecake

    For health reasons, I’m on a low sodium diet, so I made a few changes to lower the sodium in this dish, and it still turned out full of flavor!! Substituted with unsalted butter, low sodium chicken broth, liquid amino acids (instead of soy sauce), and replaced the salt with poultry seasoning. This is one of my new favorite comfort foods!! Perfect for two!!

      Sorry about that – it should be 400 degrees, I’ve fixed it in the post.

    I made this and used rotisserie chicken! It was perfect. The best comfort food. I do agree it made a little extra so I ended up fully doubling it and making an extra to share with my MIL
