Prepare Ingredients

Prepare pie crust. At the end of the chilling time, start the pot pie filling. (If using store-bought, frozen crust, remove from freezer so you will be able to cut it.) Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil.

Pot Pie Filling

In a medium pot, combine cubed chicken, carrots, celery, onion, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are just fork tender.

Drain chicken broth into a separate container (do not discard).

Make Gravy

Measure out 1 cup of reserved broth (you can discard the rest) and 1/3 cup milk. Set them next to the stove.

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook until flour is golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Slowly whisk in broth and milk, whisking out any lumps as they form. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to bubble, 2 to 5 minutes.

Remove gravy from heat, stir in salt and pepper and chicken and vegetable mixture, and divide between 2 12-ounce ramekins.

Assemble

Allow chilled dough to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly so you can roll it out without it cracking.

While your dough sits, make the egg wash. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk, and set aside.

On a well-floured surface, roll out the first disk to 1/8-inch thick and drape over the first filled ramekin. Trim the extra, leaving about 3/4-inch overhang. Gently press the edges over so the dough drapes over the sides slightly (it won't sit flush). Use a sharp-tipped serrated knife to cut a couple slits in the top for steam to escape.

Repeat with the second crust and ramekin. Brush egg wash over the top of the pie crusts.

Place ramekins on your prepared baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until tops are golden and filling inside is bubbly.

Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
