Instructions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Then drain well and set aside.
  • Season the chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat. Add in the pine nuts and toast to golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the oil to the same non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken on each side to get a nice golden brown and an internal temperature of 160 degrees using a thermometer. Once done set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • While the chicken is resting, add the shallot and garlic to the pan. Saute to golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the wine and thyme to deglaze the pan, stir it around and let it reduce and evaporate by half. Add the butter and sage, cook until it starts to turn a light brown color, then immediately remove the pan from the heat. Toss in the pasta and chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed.
  • Serve immediately, garnish with sage and pine nuts, serve with bread.

Notes

Pro tip: Work quickly when browning the butter make sure to remove the pan from the heat once the butter starts to turn golden brown. The heat from the pan will continue to cook it so if you catch it too late it can burn and turn bitter.
