Set your oven to 350 F/180 C/Gas 4. Give a 2-quart baking dish a light coating of oil or butter.

Melt butter in your skillet over medium flame. Toss in mushrooms with onions and cook until they're soft and golden, around 8 minutes.

Sprinkle flour into the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in milk while stirring continuously until it gets thick, about 3-5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
04 -
Put your cooked potatoes and chicken in the greased dish, then pour the mushroom gravy over everything.
05 -
Sprinkle your choice of topping - either breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter or a layer of shredded cheese.

Pop in the oven for 25-30 minutes until it's bubbling and hot throughout.
