CHICKEN GRATIN
Skin, bone and dice the chicken meat. Peel and finely chop the onion, sweat in 1 1/2 oz of butter, without browning. Add the chicken, cook for a few minutes. Mix in the flour, then pour in the cider and the chicken stock. Simmer for about 5 minutes on a low heat. Peel, seed and slice the apples, gently brown them in a frying pan with the remaining butter. When the chicken sauce seems to be thickening, add the cream and boil uncovered for 10 minutes. Check the seasoning. Butter a gratin dish. Place a layer of fried apples, then put the chicken mixture and cover with the remaining apples. Quickly brown the gratin under the oven grill.
