Add carrots; season with salt.
Reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender, 5–7 minutes.
Remove from heat, add reserved breast meat, and cover. Set soup aside.
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
Scoop out 2-tablespoonful portions matzo ball mixture and, using wet hands, gently roll into balls.
