Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat oil in a frying pan and cook the onions for 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add mixed mushrooms, cook for 3 more minutes. Put the onions, chicken and mushrooms into a 1 litre ovenproof dish.
Melt butter, add the flour and stirring well, cook for 2 minutes. Add the stock and wine and cook for 2 minutes. Add the herbs and cream, remove from heat and season well. Pour into ovenproof dish.
