Cut large carrots lengthwise into sticks.
Place the carrots in a large deep skillet. Add the chicken broth, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, partially cover, and cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are almost tender.
Remove the lid and let the liquid reduce almost completely, about 5 minutes.
Add the butter, honey, and thyme.
Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are glossy and well coated.
Serve immediately.
