2 tbsp olive oil
1 chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces

Add half the butter and fry the mushrooms for a minute or two. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the casserole dish.
Heat the remaining butter and fry the flour for 30 seconds. gradually stir in the stock, wine and milk to make a sauce. Deglazing the pan as you do so.
