2 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. chopped shallots

Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Set aside. In deep 3 1/2 to 4 quart pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until soft (not brown). Stir in garlic, salt, thyme, pepper, and chicken; cook until chicken looks white and opaque. Stir often. Add broth, water, wine, and carrot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and boil gently until carrot is tender (about 15 minutes). Add capellini; bring again to boil and cook, uncovered, stirring often (about 4 to 5 minutes).
