Notes
Using a high-quality chicken base is crucial for a rich, flavorful broth in this quick dish. Better Than Bouillon is recommended for its concentrated flavor. Ensure water is truly boiling when adding to dissolve the base completely. While the recipe calls for frozen peas and shredded rotisserie chicken for speed, feel free to substitute with fresh blanched peas and freshly cooked chicken breast for slightly different textures. Add the fresh dill just before serving to preserve its vibrant flavor and aroma.
