The recipe already posted would do fine. Another approach would be to
cook the chicken separately from a mushroom cream sauce and combine at
the end:

1. Shake chicken with seasoned flour, brown nicely in skillet,
place in baking dish (optional: with a little chicken stock) and cook
in moderate oven until done.
2. Some 15 minutes or so before chicken is done, saute onions and
mushrooms in oil and butter, finish with cream and sour cream.

Personally, I wouldn't go the tomato-ish route if I wanted to
emphasize the mushrooms. I very well might flavor the mushrooms with
a splash of Madeira or Marsala. -aem
