Note

Do not add salt to the dish as the chicken broth and marinated sun-dried tomatoes already provide significant sodium. Taste before adjusting seasoning.

For a quicker meal, use pre-cut frozen broccoli and shredded carrots, but ensure they are thawed and drained well to avoid watery sauce.

You can substitute fresh dill for dried dill; use 1 tablespoon of fresh dill for every 1 teaspoon of dried.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or broth to refresh the sauce.
