Lemon-Dill Sauce

Submitted by Princess Tomato

"This sauce is very tasty, but not for those who don't like a strong dill taste. It goes great with chicken, and I typically serve it will grilled chicken breasts or pan-fried chicken. To make it low-fat/low-cal, substitute Light margarine for the butter and fat-free chicken broth for the regular chicken broth. Fresh lemon juice tastes best, of course, but concentrate won't hurt either. Also, you could probably sub vegetable broth for the chicken broth, though I haven't tried it. I'm sure it would be fine. This sauce is also great warmed up later."
