Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Add the cubed cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough just holds together. Gather into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in shredded chicken, peas, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for 2 more minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Add to the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5-6 minutes.
Pour in the milk and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
Carefully place the pastry into the pie dish, trimming the excess. Pour the cooled chicken filling into the pastry-lined dish.
Roll out the remaining dough to cover the top, place over the filling, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the pastry top with beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
