Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If needed, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until they are browned.
Flip the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, pour in the gluten-free chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, letting the sauce thicken slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
