Fry onion in oil for 5 mins until golden.

Put the chicken in a bowl with the flour and seasoning and stir to mix, or shake in a bag.

Add the chicken to the pan and brown, being careful not to let the onions burn. Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, wine and tomato puree. Bring to the boil, then simmer uncovered for 25 minutes.

Spoon the sauce on in four blobs and stir in. Heat through, then garnish with parsley.
