If you use sliced chicken breast then cook the chicken first then
put mash potatoes in the bottom
of an oven dish add the chicken and sauce and put puff pastry or more mash on top . Bake for 35 min if you use cooked chicken.
Note: I used 4 drumsticks and 4 thighs which your local shops sell . If you using chicken breast then cut it into strips, fry and use the bottom part of the recipe. Which ever way you go it will be great. Paprika is such a versatile nice spice to use . For those who like Rabbit then this recipe can be used exactly like this but with rabbit instead. In France and Italy rabbit is freely available but struggle to find it here. enjoy this dish 👌
