salt & pepper to taste

Preparation:

In casserole, heat butter and oil and brown chicken; season with salt & pepper if desired. Warm brandy in saucepan, ignite, and pour over chicken. Allow flame to burn itself out. Add apples and onion.

Combine cider, sour cream, flour, and herbs; stir until smooth and pour over contents of casserole.

Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until chicken is tender.

If you want, 2 cups of cider or apple juice may be used; just omit the sour cream and use 2 Tbs of flour. You can also try it without the tarragon, using ¼ tsp each of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground cloves.
