- Take the casserole out of the oven.
- Place the casserole on the kitchen counter and invite your guests to watch the show.
- Pour the liqueur over the chicken and vegetables and ignite it.
- When the flames die out, add the wine and return the casserole to the oven for another 15.
- minutes or until the chicken breasts are no longer pink inside.
- Remove the casserole from the oven.
- Arrange the chicken and vegetables on a warm platter and keep hot.
- Reserve pan juices in the pan.
- Mix butter and flour to make a paste.
- Stir paste into the pan juices, add cream and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Garnish the serving platter with orange swirls and parsley, and serve with wild rice and vegetables.
- Note: As with all of my recipes, I recommend using quality ingredients. In this dish, for example, use Grand Marnier, not some substitute. Also use a drinkable wine. Finally Wondra flour always makes for a perfect sauce.

<p>I'm a recently retired San Diego trial attorney and wanna-be professional chef-restauranteur. Why am I so passionate about cooking? I don't know. What I do know is that those who don't cook are missing out on one of life's truly enjoyable experiences! I have a collection of whimsical signs posted above my workbench at home, one of which states: Love people. Cook them tasty food. How true.</p>
