Creating Chicken and Gravy Stovetop is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.

2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

5. Make Gravy: Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

6. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and thyme. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

7. Return Chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, spooning the gravy over each piece. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

9. Serve: Serve immediately over rice, mashed potatoes, or with biscuits to soak up the amazing gravy.
