Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 cups Chicken stock (Whole30 compliant)
• 0.5 cup Coconut cream
• 1 tablespoon Arrowroot powder
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 2

Rub the olive oil evenly over the chicken breasts, then season them with the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once hot, place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 5

While chicken is grilling, prepare the gravy. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the chicken stock and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the coconut cream and fresh thyme leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, whisk the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.

Step 8

Slowly whisk the arrowroot slurry into the simmering stock and coconut cream mixture. Continue to whisk until the gravy thickens.

Step 9

Add the lemon juice to the gravy and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if necessary.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Slice the chicken breasts, and serve them with the gravy drizzled on top or on the side as desired.
