Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and add them to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, cooked chicken, bacon, frozen peas, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the slightly cooled filling into the crust and spread it evenly.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush this egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pot pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
