Introduction

I use the dark meat and broth for homemade chicken soup with homemade noodles. The chicken breast makes wonderful chicken salad or use in casseroles. I use the dark meat and broth for homemade chicken soup with homemade noodles. The chicken breast makes wonderful chicken salad or use in casseroles.

    I'm making this now with boneless skinless thighs that I trimmed evan more. I'm also crocking up salsa chicken so I used up all fresh onion, celery, carrots. I have dehydrated on hand so I'm using that. Hope its good:( I just have to cook my meats and beans on my day off or I break diet. - 9/29/12

    I also like to make my own broth and will freeze it for a soup base. It is more flavourful.

    Incredible!
    I love homemade broth! This is very flavorful and can serve as a wonderful base for many different recipes calling for chicken or turkey broth! I used leftover turkey with the bones! - 9/14/07
