The canonical way to do this in LaTeX is to write every chapter in a
separate TeX file and then to have a root document that uses:

\include{chap1}
\include{chap2}

etc.

If you want to compile only one chapter, add the line \includeonly{chap1}
before the \include lines. After compiling it you can rename the .pdf file.

It is wise to have a separate include file for the title page, table of
contents etc (front matter) and one for the back matter (index bibliography
etc.).
