Toast the slivered almonds in a dry pan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. This enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. You can also substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian option. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your preference. Remember that the chicken broth may already contain sodium. Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits, such as cranberries or chopped apricots, to customize the flavor profile. If you don't have slivered almonds, chopped walnuts or pecans would also be delicious.
