This is a delicious variation on the usual chicken liver, onions, and bacon. Here the flavors are combined to create an outstanding main course.

Chicken livers should be browned yet slightly pink inside, so they retain their silky quality. If overcooked, the chicken livers will have a grainy texture. Pancetta, Italian cured bacon, will give the sauce a subtle bacon flavor. Regular bacon will add a smoky touch. The green peppercorns bring zest, while the cream softens the sauce to give it elegance as well as spice.
