Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once heated, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the simmering broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 8

Add onion powder and dried thyme to the gravy, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes).

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 10

To serve, slice the grilled chicken breasts and drizzle with low-fat gravy. Enjoy hot.
