Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until it forms a smooth paste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in onion powder and soy sauce, then continue to cook for another 5 minutes, whisking frequently until the gravy thickens.
Remove the gravy from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken breasts topped with the prepared gravy and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
