BEST CHICKEN BROTH RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine water, chicken, carrots, celery, onions, leeks, sea salt, garlic, garlic powder, rosemary, dried parsley, and dried thyme in a large stock pot; partially cover pot with a lid. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is fully cooked and falling off the bone, about 2 hours.
• Remove chicken from pot. Stir in fresh parsley until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove broth from heat and allow to cool slightly. Strain broth into freezable 2 to 4 cup containers. Use immediately or freeze.

Steps:

• If the bones are cooked, place them in the Instant Pot insert. If the bones are raw, place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes. Transfer the bones and any juices to the Instant Pot.
• Add the carrots, celery, onion, parsley, garlic, vinegar, and enough filtered water to just barely cover the bones.
• Secure the lid and select the soup/stew button for 80 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally, then remove the lid.
• Skim the fat from the broth and pour the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to strain out the bones and other solids.
• Allow the broth to cool to room temperature, then store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 1 week, or freeze in silicone muffin molds and, once frozen, transfer to resealable plastic bags for 6 months. Reheat from frozen in a saucepan over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, until heated through.
