Wow. That was really good. In the future I'd go a bit easier on the
black pepper and little more chile flakes. The garlic was perfect. I
reduced the leftover liquid, which ideally could have been thickened,
and while the sauce was thickening, the breast (I cooked it skin side
down in the pressure cooker) finished, skin side up under a broiler.
I'd have thickened the (drippings?) with about a half t of corn
starch*, but not during induction, and I don't have any vegetable
gums.
