Chicken Bone Broth

Have you ever tried making your own chicken broth? It’s easy and wayyyyyy less sodium than any store bought one. This broth also is packed with so much more flavor, you might even enjoy it by itself! It’s as simple as leaving the ingredients in a pot to simmer and then serving or freezing away.

I try to make as many things at home as I can—it’s cheaper, healthier and yes, this wholesome broth is freezer friendly!

Some fun facts: Did you know that bone. Broth is healing for the body? The minerals and collagen that is pulled from the chicken is known to heal the gut and reduce inflammation. (Which are two great reason people follow the paleo lifestyle in the first place.) Preparing your own broth means you get to control what goes inside and be sure you are maximizing the amount of nutrients that go into your body.

What You’ll Need:
1 whole chicken
3 stalks of celery
2 onions
1 head of garlic
2 parsnips
3 carrots
2 springs of thyme
2 springs of rosemary
1 T whole peppercorns
1/2 T salt

How to Prepare:
Roughly chop all the veggies. You can really leave them in large pieces because the flavor will come out of them during the cooking process.
Add all ingredients to a large pot.
Fill pot with water until it completes covers all the veggies.

Bring the pot to a boil, once it reaches a boil, take off the lid and turn it down to a simmer and allow it to simmer for 2 hours.
Take out chicken, set aside to cool before cutting.
Strain the veggies through a strainer.

Use the broth immediately or place in an airtight container once it has cooled. Freeze for up to 6 months.
