a lemon. Crush the peppercorns and juniper berries
together in a pestle and mortar.

chicken. Brown it over a high heat for 2 - 3 mins each
side. Remove from the pan. Add the vegetables, herbs and
spices. Cook gently for 5 minutes.

Return the chicken to the pan,
pour in the wine and bubble for 2 minutes. Add the stock

through. Serve with the sauce. Sprinkle over the parsley
and remaining zest.
