Can the chicken broth be substituted with something else like vegetable broth?
Shiran says
Yes, you can use vegetable broth instead to keep it vegetarian.

What veggies do u think would go well with this ?
Shiran says
Mushrooms and red bell pepper work well here, saute them until they are soft, then add them to the sauce. Cherry tomatoes are also great.
