Hey guys... So I need your help to prove my wife wrong :tongue:

I bought some low sodium chicken broth to make the skinnytaste stuffed bell pepper soup (Which is amazing BTW) and now I have most of the container left over. My wife is always teasing me about how I buy an ingredient we almost never use for a single recipe, then let the rest go bad. So I am now out to prove her wrong!

What are you favorite recipes that utilize chicken broth?

    I freeze it and then thaw when I need it.

    Use it to make rice instead of the water; or go half broth and half water.
    I agree with the freeze it recommendation though, it's very useful!

    Try making some soup (it's been cold enough many nights for it in some places). Start with your broth, then add any leftover veggies, pasta, or chicken. Instant yummy meal.

    I make Lemon Chicken Soup:

    2 cups water
    box of chicken broth (or however much you have left)
    2 cooked chicken breasts
    juice of 2 lemons
    1 stalk of celery, chopped
    1 carrot, chopped
    black pepper to taste

    I also add a cup of whole wheat pasta or rice if I want a more filling soup..

    Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 min.

    Jalapenos
    Cream of Chicken Soup
    Butter (unsalted)
    Broth (I used water)

    Use it instead of water to cook rice, quinoa, or some other kind of grain. Low cals, nice flavor.

    this - it will give it great flavor - also if you are making something like a chicken stir fry you could just add a bit - I usually use a bit of stock and soya sauce and thicken it with a bit of cornstarch to make stir fry sauce (just add it all to the pan be careful not to use too much cornstarch usually just a tsp or even less will do) - use it to make your gravy/rue for chicken pot pie - you can use it in your slow cooker with your chicken pieces to add more flavor.... and the list goes on!

    Make pilaf. Sauté some combination of onion, carrot, celery, bell pepper, mushroom. When the veggies are tender, add brown rice and sauté few mins more. Add enough broth to completely cover the rice bring it to a boil, cover, and set to simmer until tender. Add a little more water if you need to and set on LOW if it doesn't seem to be getting cooked all of the way and the broth is gone.

    you can use it to cook couscous or quinoa in or if you make stuffing.
    you can make other soups with it
    freeze it and then pull it out when you need it again
    or you can go on yummly.com where you can search for recipes by ingredient if you put in chicken broth and see what comes up

    I usually freeze them in ice trays then throw in a plastic baggie - pop an ice cube to flavor any recipe .

    Thanks for the ideas!

    Did not know about yummly.com... Always thought it would be cool to be able to search for recipes based on ingredients.
