1
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and position a rack in the highest position.
2
Place 1 cup panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together 4 tablespoons of room temperature unsalted butter, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves until combined.
4
Generously season the chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
5
Smear the butter-mustard mixture all over the skin side of the seasoned chicken thighs.
6
Firmly press the chicken thighs, skin side down, into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring the crumbs adhere to the skin.
7
Place the chicken thighs skin side up on a rimmed baking sheet.
8
Arrange the 1 pound of carrot pieces and 4 whole thyme sprigs around the chicken. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
9
Bake the chicken and carrots for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender.
10
Switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken and carrots for 2 minutes or until the panko turns golden brown and the carrots have browned spots.

Transfer the chicken and carrots to a serving platter and pour any remaining pan juices over the top before serving.
