1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.
Heat olive oil in oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken skin-side down 5–6 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more.
Add carrots to skillet. Add butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Stir to coat.
Transfer skillet to oven and roast 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and carrots are tender.
