This is a great way to use up the last of that roasted chicken. STOP! Don’t throw it away. Throw it into your crockpot for this Homemade Chicken Stock Recipe.

{Here is the SLOW COOKER that I use.}

A few basic ingredients, your leftover chicken and a slow cooker. That’s how the MAGIC happens, people. And have you ever tried homemade chicken broth? If not, you need to. It is beyond amazing. You’ll never be able to look at a can or carton of store bought stock the same way.

I love homemade stock because it can be made with very little salt. Most store bought varieties are loaded with sodium.

The ingredients are fairly predictable; carrots, celery, onion, garlic. But I add fresh parsley and lemon to brighten up my chicken stock. And, feel free to add your own ‘secret ingredients’. Thyme is a great addition and rosemary , too. If you think of any other interesting additions leave me a comment. I’m always looking to try something new.

Once you make your own chicken broth the possibilities are endless. Of course, chicken soup is obvious. (Maybe my Lemon Pepper Chicken Soup) And really, any chicken dish is going to shine once you use your homemade stock.

Or, if you’re like me, just drink it!
