• 2 pounds boneless chicken breast
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 granny smith apple, diced

4. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Turn the pieces over about half way through baking so both sides can get browned.
