Chicken Breasts with Apple Curry Sauce

This is my second recipe, I made and reviewed for the recipe swap, I am participating in on Recipezaar, it was very good and definitely a different way to do curry. I mixed it up between hot and mild curry powders and I also added a red chili, sliced thinly to give it a bit more of a kick. I served mine with Kumara and cumin seeds.

So I am going to be posting pictures of some of the range of boards I currently have in stock, just to give you an idea on the beauty of them until I can post my web address.
