To use this chicken broth, simply open the container and pour it into your pot or pan. It can be heated gently on the stovetop or added directly to recipes. For soups and stews, it provides the essential liquid base, carrying the flavors of other ingredients. When making sauces, it adds body and a savory chicken note. It is also excellent for cooking rice, quinoa, or other grains, infusing them with a delicious flavor. Braising meats in broth helps them become tender and moist.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to chicken stock, broth is typically made with more meat and less bone, resulting in a lighter flavor and clearer appearance. It is often seasoned, whereas stock is usually unseasoned. This makes broth ready to use in many applications without additional salt.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused broth in a sealed container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the broth in ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers.
