If you have a whole chicken, or a few whole chicken legs, or even drumsticks to cook, here is an idea! Cook them in a slow cooker to make shredded chicken* and chicken broth all in one swoop!
 |
| Broth, cooled and ready for the fridge! |
Put the chicken (boneless chicken will render next to no broth, so please use on-the-bone chicken) in a slow cooker and set it on low.
Fill water to the top of the chicken.
Salt the pot of water and chicken.
Cover the slow cooker.
{insert sleep}
Wake up.
Grab some elixir of the gods (coffee).
Use tongs to remove bones and chicken.
Strain remaining liquid.
TA-DA! Shredded chicken and chicken broth all in one!
Refrigerate your broth and use within three days (use good judgement, please), or freeze it for later.
I like to think that Auntie Leila would qualify this as save-a-step cooking. :)
Happy Autumn! Happy cooking!
*The chicken breaks down and falls off of the bone with the low heat and water.
Useful tip: Freeze the broth in ice cube trays for ease of use.
