Shake chicken pieces in a plastic bag with flour, salt and pepper until lightly dusted and then brown in a little oil with melted butter. Pour the brandy over and flame. Set aside.
Saute the onion and garlic, adding a little more oil/butter to the pan if needed. Place chicken, onion mixture, mushrooms and wine in a baking dish. Add pears and apples.
Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken and fruit to a heated platter and thicken sauce with cornstarch which has been mixed with a little water or chicken stock. Adjust seasonings. Serve over couscous, noodles or rice.
