HEART-HEALTHY CHICKEN BROTH (& YUMMY BONUS CHICKEN)



Heart-Healthy Chicken Broth (& Yummy Bonus Chicken) image

This virtually fat-free broth has been a staple in our home for years because of my allergies and David's heart. It freezes very well and is great to have on hand. We like to use it in other recipes as a substitute for butter to reduce the fat content and for water to kick up the flavor. It's also wonderful as a home remedy when loved ones get sick. Because I can't use OTC medications, I add a dash of cayenne whenever I have congestion or a head cold. The "bonus chicken" comes from picking the meat from the bones. It comes out very tender and juicy, falls right off the bones, and is ready to add to any dish. I also make sandwiches out of it or freeze it for later use. It takes a little extra effort with the second boil, but it's well worth it. Enjoy! *Adapted from Emeril Lagasse's Louisian Real & Rustic Chicken Broth, p. 11. BAM!:)

Time 3h45m

Yield 5 quarts, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (3 -4 lb) whole chickens (I buy natural and avoid broth-injected)
8 quarts water (approximate)
2 cups carrots, coarsely chopped (baby carrots are okay)
2 cups celery, coarsely chopped (tops too)
2 large onions, peeled and quartered
8 garlic cloves (minced works fine too)
5 bay leaves
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried tarragon (a must!)
1 dash cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Place water into large stock pot, leaving approximately 3" between water level and top of pot. (I begin heating the water on high heat immediately as my 20-quart stock pot takes about 30 mins to start boiling liquids. BE CAREFUL not to burn yourself when adding remaining ingredients!).
  • Remove chickens from pkg and wash thoroughly inside and out; add to stock pot.
  • Add remaining ingredients, being careful not to burn yourself.
  • Heat to a rolling boil, then simmer over medium heat for 90 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and cool approximately 1 hour.
  • Remove chickens from broth. Remove skin and meat from bones; discard skin. Refrigerate or freeze meat for later use.
  • Return bones to broth. Place broth into container(s) and refrigerate for 8 hrs or overnight.
  • Remove as much of the fat that has congealed on top as possible. (You could save this "schmaltz" and use it as an oil substitute.).
  • Put broth and bones into large stock pot; bring to boil and simmer over medium heat for 1 hour. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Strain broth; discard bones. Veggies may be discarded or used in another dish. (I give the carrots and celery to my dog as a treat.).
  • Broth may be used immediately or placed into appropriate containers for refrigerator or freezer.
  • NOTES: Don't be alarmed by the fat content per the Nutrition Facts. Remember, you skim off the fat. The tarragon adds an essential flavor and makes a big difference if left out. I also like to use Vidalia onions for a little sweeter flavor. I wonder how red onion would work out? Hmmm -- :-).

CHICKEN BROTH



Chicken Broth image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h5m

Yield about 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (4-pound) chicken, whole
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
2 medium carrots, quartered,
2 stalks celery, quartered
1 leek, dark tops only
1 medium parsnip, peeled and quartered, optional
3 generous sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
3 generous sprigs flat-leaf parsley
5 whole black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
About 4 quarts water

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken, vegetables, herbs, and peppercorns in a large stockpot. Pour in enough water to just cover the chicken completely. Heat the water to just under a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a very low simmer, so that 1 or 2 bubbles break the surface of the broth about once a minute. Skim any fat and scum from the surface with a ladle, large spoon, or skimmer. (To prevent losing a lot of stock when skimming, put the skimmed liquid into a degreasing cup, and return any useable broth back to the pot.) Cook for about 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through but not dry.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot, but continue to simmer the broth. Cool the chicken for about 10 minutes. Cut the chicken meat from the bone, and reserve for a chicken salad, soup, or other recipe. Return the bones to the pot and cook for 1 hour.
  • Strain into a non-reactive container, like another pot, a large bowl, or plastic quart or pint containers. Fill the sink with a mixture of ice and cold water so it comes about halfway up the sides of the container. Nestle the broth in the ice bath. (Stirring the broth speeds up the cooling process.) Cover and refrigerate or freeze the broth for future use. Broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If the broth is unused after 5 days bring it to a boil before using.
