Chicken Breasts With Apple Curry Sauce image

I discovered the Loaves and Fishes Cookbook while reading through one of Ina Garten's cookbooks because she made frequent references to it. It appears to be out of print, but I found it at my local library. This dish is wonderful and like most curries, tastes even better the next day.
