Method

Take a chicken breast, halve it horizontally. Flatten until 1cm thickness all over. Dredge in seasoned flour. Pan fry til golden. Set aside. Deglaze fry pan with 200ml white wine, cook off alcohol, add finely diced shallot, 2 tablespoons chopped baby capers and juice and zest of a large lemon, reduce by 1/3, add 1 T honey ( adjust to mellow out sourness of lemon), add 50g cold butter stir until just melted. Add chicken back into pan and coat with sauce under low-med heat for 1-2 mins. Season, sprinkle chopped flat leaf parsley. Sauteed the spinach in some butter and season. Serve with UMAMU Estate Chardonnay which matches the buttery, citrusy piccata chicken perfectly.
