Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 5 more minutes.
Stir in the plant-based chicken substitute and frozen peas. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to incorporate. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the vegetable broth and milk, stirring continuously until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and chopped parsley. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Transfer the filling to an oven-safe pie dish.
Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the pie dish, trimming any excess pastry. Press the edges to seal.
Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry to give it a golden sheen.
Cut a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
