Slice the carrots into 1/4" coins. Place them into a 2-quart saucepan or a skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Add the butter and chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat; turn the heat to low, give the carrots a stir, cover the pan, and allow the carrots to cook until done and all the liquid has been absorbed. Immediately before serving, sprinkle with coarse salt, parsley and the juice squeezed from the lemon wedge.
