4 bone-in chicken Breast, each about 1 inch thick

Salt and Black pepper To Taste

2 Tbs cooking oil

2 Tbs  butter

1 tsp. minced fresh thyme

3 Tbs. all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups chicken broth

Directions:
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a large electric skillet set on medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet.

Transfer the chops to a deep platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Stir the cream into the gravy in the skillet and bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the green portion of the green onions and the 1 tsp. hot sauce and season with salt.
