In a large skillet, cook Chicken until browned and cooked through. Shred or dice the Chicken and set aside.
To make the crust, combine Flour and Salt in a bowl. Cut in Butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add Ice water, mixing until dough comes together. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
In a large pot, melt Butter from Sauce over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in Chicken broth, then Heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Stir in Thyme, Salt, and Pepper from Sauce.
Add Carrots, Celery, Onion, and Mushrooms from Vegetables to the sauce and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in cooked Chicken and Peas from Vegetables.
Roll out the chilled crust and line a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the Chicken mixture into the crust.
Top with a second crust, cut vents, and crimp the edges.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
