What it is
This is a liquid base made from simmering chicken bones and vegetables. It is unsalted, meaning no salt has been added during its production. This allows for greater control over the final flavor profile when used in cooking. It comes in a convenient can, ready to be incorporated into various dishes. The liquid is clear and has a mild chicken aroma.
How people cook with it
Chicken broth is a versatile ingredient that forms the foundation for many savory recipes. It adds depth and moisture to dishes.
- Soups and stews
- Sauces and gravies
- Risotto and grains
- Braising liquids
You can use this broth as a cooking liquid for rice, quinoa, or other grains, infusing them with subtle chicken flavor. It is excellent as a base for homemade soups and stews, providing a savory foundation. It can also be used to deglaze pans after searing meat, capturing flavorful browned bits. For richer sauces and gravies, it adds body and taste. When braising meats or vegetables, it helps to tenderize and flavor them as they cook slowly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike salted broths, this unsalted version offers complete control over the sodium content of your final dish. This is beneficial for those monitoring their salt intake or for recipes where other salty ingredients are used. It allows the pure chicken flavor to be the primary taste.
