Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim and wash the asparagus, baby carrots, and radishes. Cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with half the salt and pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet or pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Sauté the baby potatoes for 5 minutes until golden brown.
Add the garlic cloves, baby carrots, radishes, and asparagus to the pan. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, and add the fresh thyme.
Nestle the chicken breasts back into the pan among the vegetables.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken with a generous helping of the roasted spring vegetables and pan sauce.
