INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup all-purpose flour

1 large egg

1.5 tbsp water

0.25 tbsp grass-fed butter

6 whole fresh sage leaves

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.13 tsp ground nutmeg

0 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, water, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until a thick, smooth batter forms; let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

• 2

  Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 4

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then press the spätzle batter through a spätzle maker or a colander with large holes directly into the boiling water.

• 5

  Cook the spätzle for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface, then drain them immediately.

• 6

  In the same skillet used for the chicken (after removing the meat to rest), melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam and turn a light amber color.

• 7

  Add the fresh sage leaves to the butter and fry for 30-60 seconds until crisp.

• 8

  Add the drained spätzle to the skillet, tossing well to coat in the brown butter and sage.

• 9

  Slice the chicken and serve it over the warm, buttery spätzle.
