For a richer flavor, use a high-quality aged balsamic vinegar.
If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by whisking in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last few minutes of simmering.
Serve with roasted potatoes, creamy polenta, or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Feel free to add a splash of dry white wine along with the chicken broth for an even deeper flavor profile.
