Ever wondered what to do with those lovely bones from your chicken carcass when you roast a chicken? How about using them to make broth? This recipe is so fast and easy, it really takes no effort at all.
Ingredients:
leftover chicken carcass/bones
1 carrot
1 onion
Bay leaves
Oregano
Salt
1. Once you've removed all good meat from your chicken, add the bones to your slow cooker. I also added all the leftover juices at the bottom of my pan, as well as any vegetables. (I removed the lemon wedges and garlic cloves.) Toss in your carrot, onion and whatever other vegetables you'd like (celery, garlic cloves, etc.)
2. Fill your slow cooker almost to the top with cold water. Leave about 1/2" of space from the top. Add in your seasoning - bay leaves, oregano, and salt.
3. Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for 8-10 hours. I always put it to the max (10 hours) and let it go overnight. When I wake up in the morning I have some delicious broth. Strain the broth through a strainer/sieve and put it into containers for the fridge or freezer (just make sure you let it cool down first). You can use this broth for anything - soup, risotto, flavour to any cooking, etc. Throw out all the bones and vegetables from the broth.
