Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Sauté in oil until browned on both sides. Transfer to the oven and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
Combine the powdered sugar and chestnuts in a saucepan and cook until the chestnuts begin to caramelise. Deglaze with the red wine and beef broth. Add the fresh thyme sprigs and simmer until reduced by about half.
