Notes

You could use a traditional cheese sauce if you wanted.
Feel free to swap the mashed potato topping for a short crust pastry or even puff or filo.
Give the dish a green boost with some spinach, kale or broccoli.
Reduce the calories by using less cheese in the sauce.
You could swap half the chicken for mushrooms to cut down on the meat. If you do this, try using different mushrooms to change up the texture. Chestnut and shiitake work well.
