Peppery… what is it? What is the flavor of pepper, that condiment that sits on many a table across American and the world? Can you put it into a word other than… peppery? Well, imagine that zest, that spice, that peppery quality mixed into a cream sauce, with acidy lemon and shallot, and put on top a tender chicken breast. That indescribable element will elevate this dinner into perfection. Peppery perfection. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.
