Notes

For a deeper flavor, you can deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine before adding the broth. If you're missing an ingredient, feel free to substitute with similar options; for example, use olive oil in place of butter for a dairy-free option. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop. For longer storage, freeze portions in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months.
