Heat the oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until the onions are translucent and softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the lentils, chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the lentils are almost tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir the diced chicken breast into the soup. Continue to simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and the lentils are soft, about 5 to 8 minutes. Done when chicken is opaque and firm, 165°F.
