Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and slice them into uniform 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.
In a bowl, toss the carrots with 0.5 tbsp olive oil, maple syrup, half of the sea salt, and half of the black pepper.
Spread the carrots on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
While carrots roast, season the chicken breast with the remaining sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Plate the pan-seared chicken alongside the glazed carrots and serve immediately.
