Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
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).
While the chicken is grilling, start preparing the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer.
Slowly sprinkle the xanthan gum into the gravy while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
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.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, drizzled with the prepared low-carb gravy, and garnish with additional thyme if desired.
