Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
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.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
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).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
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.
Add onion powder and dried thyme to the gravy, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes).
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
To serve, slice the grilled chicken breasts and drizzle with low-fat gravy. Enjoy hot.
