Chicken with Green Peppercorn Sauce [Serves 4]

The flavor of the chicken and green peppercorns creates an ideal marriage of coloring and taste. The green peppercorns in brine are a better choice than the dry-packed type because they tend to give this piquant, creamy sauce a more rounded, full flavor.
