Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Add the coconut oil to a medium sized skillet (about 8-10 inches) and turn on the heat to medium.
When heated add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook about 8 minutes per side, until no pink remains.
Transfer the chicken pieces to a plate and put to the side.
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and cook 2 more minutes.
Add the all-purpose flour (or the almond flour) and mix well into the onion and garlic.
Pour in the chicken bone broth and the heavy cream (or coconut milk). Stir well until completely combined. Add the mustard, parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast), and fresh thyme.
