Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Place the chopped carrots on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Roast the carrots in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the carrots are roasting, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup with a small splash of water to thin slightly if needed.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the maple mixture over the chicken in the skillet, allowing it to simmer and glaze the chicken for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Once the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are roasted, plate them together. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the chicken.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, sticky maple glazed chicken with roasted carrots.
