Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the tomato puree and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken gravy, dried oregano, cinnamon, and bay leaves.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Remove the bay leaves and set aside.
2. Prepare the Garlicky Mash Topping:
- Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the milk and minced garlic.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Assemble the Pot Pies:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Transfer the chicken mixture into individual ovenproof ramekins or a large baking dish.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top of the chicken mixture, spreading it out evenly.
4. Bake:
- Place the ramekins or baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, you can use a mixture of olive oil and butter for cooking the chicken and onions.

- Feel free to add more garlic to the mash if you love a stronger garlic flavor.

- For an extra crispy topping, you can sprinkle a layer of grated cheese over the mashed potatoes before baking.

- If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can substitute the chicken with chickpeas or a mix of hearty vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant.

- Make sure the chicken cubes are evenly sized to ensure they cook uniformly.
