Nothing quite says comfort food like a home made chicken bone broth. Here's an easy slow cooker recipe that will make your house smell amazing, and provide you with a healthy broth packed with vitamins and minerals.
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Servings: 8-10
Ingredients
- (1) Chicken - Whole Medium 3-4 lbs
- (1) Onion, roughly chopped
- (3) Carrots, roughly chopped
- (3) Celery stalks, roughly chopped
- (6) Cloves garlic, smashed
- (2 Tbs) Apple cider vinegar
- (2 tsp) Black peppercorns
- (1 tsp) Sea Salt
- Optional: fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme for extra flavor
Directions
- Place the chicken bones in a large 6 quart slow cooker. Add the vegetables, herbs (if using) garlic, apple cider vinegar, black peppercorns and salt on top of the bones and mix to combine.
- Fill the slow cooker with filtered water until all the ingredients are submerged. Cover with the lid and set to low heat for 12 hours.
- Once done cooking let it cool for about 45 minutes before straining through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl then discard solids. The liquid should be thick and gelatinous once cooled – this is normal!
- Once cooled transfer to jars or other containers labelled with date and contents and store in fridge up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage up to 3 months. Reheat when you need it - Enjoy!
