                Instructions

                1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
                2. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons curry, 1/4 cup flour, and the chicken. Toss to coat.
                3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil.
                4. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken and cook until just done and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
                5. Transfer the chicken to a 2 quart oven-safe casserole dish. Set aside.
                6. In the same skillet over medium-low heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
                7. Add in the garlic and apples. Sauté until the apples are soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
                8. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour and 3 tablespoons of curry. Mash the onion and apple mixture until thoroughly combined and paste-like.
                9. Return the skillet to medium heat. Stir in the chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a time, until well combined.
                10. Stir the cream and bring the sauce to a low boil, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes. The sauce should thicken.
                11. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and zest. Pour the curry sauce over the chicken in the prepared dish. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
                12. Serve with rice and the 'million' condiments of your choice.
