# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the skillet’s bottom to deglaze. Return chicken to skillet and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
04 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
05 - Return drained potatoes to the pot. Add milk, unsalted butter, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy.
06 - In a separate pan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add carrot sticks and sauté for approximately 5 minutes.
07 - Sprinkle brown sugar over the carrots, stirring to coat evenly. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes until carrots are tender and glazed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
