Mix the flour, chicken seasoning, salt and pepper together on a plate.

Stir in the lager and bring the casserole to the boil. Cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a warm serving dish and stand in a warm place. Boil the juice left in the casserole until it has reduced by half. Strain at this stage to remove the onion if you wish. Add the cream to the sauce along with the parsley and further seasoning if it needs it. Allow to simmer gently until it thickens. Pour over the chicken to serve.
