Preparation

Step 1
Peel, core and slice the apples in pieces a quarter inch thick. Fry until golden in the butter in a large heavy frying pan. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
Add the oil to the frying pan. Fry the chicken pieces until golden, turn down heat, cover and cook over low heat until done (about 20 minutes). Remove to a heated serving dish.
Step 3
Return the apple slices to the frying pan and heat through. Remove and arrange around the chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Pour the cream into the frying pan and scrape up the cooking juices. Add the cognac, bring to boil and pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.
