Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chicken. Brown well on both sides, about 2-3 mins on each side. Remove and leave drippings.
Add onions, garlic and mushrooms, saute until vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet.
Meanwhile, mix together in a medium bowl, the diced tomatoes, paste, wine, sugar, salt and seasonings. Pour over chicken and vegetables. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cover. Simmer on low temperature for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. (if you use a meat thermometer, 170 * for breasts, 180* thighs). Sprinkle the chicken with parsley and cheese.
Serve over hot cooked noodles. Spinach salad and garlic bread go well as accompaniments.
