Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer.

Step 6

Slowly sprinkle the xanthan gum into the gravy while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 7

Let the gravy simmer until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh thyme and lemon juice, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the grilled chicken hot, drizzled with the prepared low-carb gravy, and garnish with additional thyme if desired.
