Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook diced chicken in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the skillet; sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Season with thyme, salt, and black pepper; mix in peas and remove from heat.

Roll out pie crust and cut into large circles.

Spoon the chicken mixture onto half of each circle, leaving a border.

Fold the crust over to create a half-moon shape; seal edges with a fork.

Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving.
