What it is
This is a liquid base made from chicken and seasonings, with a lower amount of salt than standard chicken broth. It comes in a convenient container, ready to be used in various culinary applications.

How people cook with it
This broth is a fundamental ingredient for adding depth and moisture to a wide range of recipes. It can be used as a cooking liquid or a flavor enhancer.
- Soup bases
- Sauce foundations
- Rice and grain cooking
- Braising liquids
Simply open the container and pour the broth into your pot or pan. It can be used directly as a liquid for simmering soups, stews, and chilis, or as a base for gravies and sauces. When cooking grains like rice or quinoa, substituting water with this broth will infuse them with a rich chicken flavor. It's also excellent for deglazing pans to capture flavorful browned bits, or as a moistening agent when braising meats and vegetables, helping to tenderize them while adding savory notes.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused broth in a sealed container. It is best to use the remaining broth within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Proper storage ensures the broth remains a reliable ingredient for future meals.
