  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on mediumhigh heat. Add chicken to pan and cook, turning, for about 6 minutes, until golden.
  4. Add sundried tomato paste, courgette, tomato and carrot to pan with chicken and cook, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant. Reduce heat to low-medium, add second measure of stock and silverbeet and cook for about 2 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly and chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove from heat, add sour cream to pan and stir to combine. Season to taste.
