Cook chicken in a pot over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove chicken and set aside, leaving drippings in the pot.

Sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper in the drippings until soft, about 4-5 minutes.

Add diced tomato, cumin, paprika, bay leaf, and olives; stir to combine.

Return chicken to the pot, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until cooked through.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, mix flour, butter, and salt until crumbly.

Add egg and milk to the flour mixture; combine until a dough forms.

Spread half of the dough in a greased baking dish to form a crust.

Layer the chicken mixture over the crust evenly.

Top with remaining dough, crumbling it over the filling.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
