Best Ever Creamy Chicken Pot Pie (for Two) • Zona Cooks (2024)

This Creamy Chicken Pot Pie is the best! It is delicious and simple and also easy on your wallet! Juicy chicken, peas, carrots, onion, and creamy chicken soup are topped with a flaky top crust that is golden brown. It takes just 8 ingredients plus salt and pepper.

Why I love this recipe

The house smells amazing when it is baking and then you have the most perfect filling comfort food. This small batch recipe for two has no bottom pie crust and makes a great lunch, dinner, or impressive romantic date night meal.

You can use a store-bought crust but I prefer using this recipe for Best Homemade Pie Crustusing the double crust ingredient amounts.

Substitutions

You can use a store-bought pie crust but I prefer using this homemade pie crust recipe with the double crust ingredient amounts.

Use boneless skinless chicken breast or dark meat.

You can use rotisserie chicken instead. Omit the raw chicken during step 4 and add the rotisserie cooked chicken during step 5.

You can also top this with puff pastry instead of pie crust.

Try using mixed vegetables instead of peas and carrots mix.

Equipment used for this recipe

• two 18.6-ounce oven safe baking dishes
• large skillet
• whisk
• pastry brush
• baking sheet
• cork trivets

How to make Individual Chicken Pot Pies

If you’re using the homemade crust prepare that ahead of time.

Step 1 – Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 – Coat two 18.6 oz baking dishes with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3 – In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the peas and carrots mix, diced onions, salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally, until veggies are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 4 – Add the chicken and cook until just browned.

Step 5 – Add the soup and milk. Mix well and cook over medium-low heat for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 6 – Pour the chicken pot pie filling into the prepared baking dishes.

Step 7 – If you’re using store-bought crust (see next step for homemade), cut the pie dough in half and then trim the crust to the shape of the dish enough to reach the top edge all the way around. Cover each dish with half of the pie crust. Cut a few slits into the dough to let steam escape. (If you’re making your own pie crust, roll out each piece with a rolling pin to fit the top of your dishes, and then top each dish with the crusts.)

Step 8 – In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the crusts with the egg wash using a pastry brush.

Step 9 – Place baking dishes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.

Step 10 – Let cool for 10 minutes.

Serve warm on top of cork trivets, and enjoy!
