Notes

Always crack your pepper fresh. Pre-ground pepper lacks the floral notes necessary for this pepper chicken recipe. For a gluten-free option, use a high-quality brown rice pasta. If you're watching your fat intake, you can substitute half and half for the cream, though the final sweet spicy chicken pasta will be slightly less indulgent.
