Slow Cooker Chicken Broth

(Serves 4-6)

Ingredients:

         2 chicken thighs
         1 chopped onion
         5 oz (141g) dried broth mix
         2 carrots (chopped)
         2 pints (0.94 ltr) chicken stock
         1 tsp mixed herbs
         1 table spoon olive oil
         Garnish of parsley
         ½ oz butter
         Salt & black pepper to taste

Preparation:

Leave the broth mix to soak overnight in a bowl of water, then drain and add to the slow cooker.

Add the oil, butter and chicken into a hot saucepan. Fry until the chicken begins to brown, then remove and place into the slow cooker with the mix..

Fry the onion in the saucepan (after removing excess oil/fat) until softened, then add the chicken stock and the other ingredients.

Cook on ‘low’ for 6-8 hours, then remove the chicken pieces; place on a chopping board and carefully remove the chicken from the bone.

Chop the boned chicken into bite-sized pieces and place back into the soup; seasoning with plenty salt and pepper to season.

Garnish with a little parsley sprinkled on top.
