3 tbsp olive oil
300 g cup mushrooms, thickly sliced
2 chicken breast fillets, trimmed, thinly sliced across the grain

¾ cup chicken stock

Method

1

Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water following packet instructions.

2

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, cook, stirring occasionally 5 minutes or until just start to colour. Remove to a plate. Add 2 teaspoons oil and half the chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until browned. Remove to a plate. Repeat with oil and remaining chicken.

Stir through parsley, season. Spoon into bowls, top with sour cream and crumble over corn chips. Serve.
