How people cook with it
Chicken broth is a versatile pantry staple used to add depth and moisture to a wide range of recipes.
- Soups and stews
- Sauces and gravies
- Rice and grains
- Braising liquids
This broth can be used directly from the carton in recipes that call for liquid. It is excellent as a base for homemade soups, where it contributes flavor and body. When making rice or other grains, substituting broth for water adds a subtle savory note. It is also a key component in many sauces and gravies, helping to create a smooth and flavorful finish. For braising meats or vegetables, it provides moisture and infuses the food with chicken flavor during the cooking process. Its reduced sodium content allows for greater control over the final saltiness of your dish.
