Cast Iron Skillet Chardonnay Chicken with Lemon & Oregano
When pairing Chardonnay with chicken, the basic principle is to not overpower the meat. Chardonnay is a classic match when chicken is roasted with herbs, as well garlic, lemon and butter. Our Wine of the Month this May, 2018 Chardonnay, carries a little more weight,...
