Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and slice them into 2-inch diagonal pieces for maximum surface area.
Toss the carrots on the baking sheet with 0.5 tbsp olive oil, 0.25 tsp sea salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Roast the carrots for 20 minutes until they begin to soften and show light browning.
While carrots roast, season the chicken breast with garlic powder and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the carrots from the oven, drizzle with honey and fresh thyme, and toss to coat thoroughly.
Return the carrots to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the honey is bubbly and the edges are deeply caramelized.
Plate the juicy chicken breast alongside the glazed carrots and serve immediately.
