Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
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.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the gravy. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the flour, and cook the mixture for about 1-2 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
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.
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.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the grilled chicken and serve it with a generous spoonful of gravy on top or on the side. Enjoy your meal!
