Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and heated through.
Transfer the chicken mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe baking dish.
Unroll the breadstick dough and cut into long strips if not pre-cut. Arrange the strips over the chicken filling in a crisscross pattern or as desired.
Brush the breadstick dough with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadsticks are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
