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.
