What is the minimum I need to keep in my saddle bag?

Starfish, I've used the chain tool on the road and trail several times, like when my rear der got toasted. Once or twice for myself, and the rest for others I've come across. Nice little bit to have and it can mean not having to hoof it back.

I've also used my chain breaker.
Have you thought about getting a Multi-tool, like a Topeak alien or Hexus? Granted, they usually don't work as well as the "full-sized" ones, but it would more compact and less stuff to forget

Thanks. I've got a small multi-tool that I carry, but have only had one lesson (a long time ago) with the chain tool...so I've got it, but don't feel confident about how I'd use it.
