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.
