Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan, chop into small pieces, and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the diced carrots and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the cooked chicken, bacon, and frozen peas. Mix everything together and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out one sheet of pastry and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess edges. Add the cooled filling, spreading it evenly.
Cover the pie with the second sheet of pastry, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers. Trim any overhanging pastry if necessary.
Cut a few small slits into the top of the pie to allow steam to escape and brush the surface with the beaten egg.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
