Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the flour and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the salt, black pepper, thyme, and garlic powder to the sauce, stirring to combine.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Mix everything until evenly coated in the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x9-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and heated through.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
