Chicken With Lemon, Honey and Carrots image

This is a very tasty chicken dish! Throw in some canned, drained or fresh sauteed mushrooms. Be certain to use only low-sodium chicken broth for this. Make sure you have a large enough skillet to hold the chicken and carrots, I make this on my large electric skillet. You will love this!
