Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.25 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.

Step 3

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

Step 4

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the gravy. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Stir in the flour, and cook the mixture for about 1-2 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, smoothing out any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, and season the gravy with more salt and pepper to taste. Remove the gravy from the heat and keep warm.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Slice the grilled chicken and serve it with a generous spoonful of gravy on top or on the side. Enjoy your meal!
