Remove from pan and set aside. Add in remaining oil, leeks and garlic and saute/fry over moderate heat for 3 - 4 min or possibly till vegetables are just beginning to soften. Add in wine and stock and cook over moderate heat for 3 - 4 min to reduce liquid slightly.

  7. To serve: Arrange zucchini attractively on hot plates and top with breasts and vegetables. Drizzle pan juices over. Garnish with zucchini flowers.
  8. Serve warm or possibly at room temperature.
