Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness.
In a shallow dish, soak the chicken in the buttermilk for 15 minutes to tenderize.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing down to ensure a thick coating.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside; wipe the skillet clean.
Melt the ghee in the skillet over medium heat, then whisk in the remaining teaspoon of flour for 1 minute to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the almond milk while whisking constantly, then add the dried thyme.
Simmer the gravy for 2-3 minutes until it thickens into a silky consistency.
Drizzle the warm gravy over the crispy chicken and serve immediately.
