     Title: Chicken au Poivre
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Citrus, Herbs
     Yield: 4 Servings

     1 tb Whole black peppercorns
     2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
     8    Boned, skinned chicken
          - thighs (2 pounds)
          Salt
     2 tb Unsalted butter
     2 tb Minced shallot
     1 c  Chicken broth
   1/2 c  Heavy cream
     3    Thyme sprigs
     1 tb Lemon juice
     1 tb Fine chopped parsley; more
          - for garnishing
          Crusty bread or egg noodles;
          - (opt) for serving

 Place peppercorns in a small resealable bag. Using a
 mallet or the bottom of a saucepan, gently crush the
 peppercorns until coarsely cracked. (Alternatively, you
 can use a mortar and pestle.) Set aside.

 In a 12" cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over
 medium. Season chicken with salt. In two batches, sear
 chicken until light golden all over, about 5 minutes per
 batch. Transfer to a plate. Pour off any remaining oil
 in the skillet.

 Add butter and shallot to the skillet and cook,
 stirring, until butter is melted and shallot is
 softened, 1 minute. Add broth, heavy cream, thyme sprigs
 and cracked peppercorns and mix well, stirring to lift
 up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

 Add chicken (and any accumulated juices), bring to a
 simmer and cook, turning and basting occasionally with
 the sauce, 6 to 8 minutes.

 Divide chicken among 4 serving plates and discard thyme.

 Add lemon juice to the skillet and stir until sauce is
 slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt
 and stir in parsley.

 Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more
 parsley. Serve with crusty bread or egg noodles, if
 desired.
