This is a healthy, fat-free chicken broth. It’s easy, inexpensive and has many nutritional benefits. This broth is nutrient-dense with amino acids and minerals, which make it easy to digest while boosting immunity and also fighting inflammation and joint pain. Healthy chicken broth not only protects your gut, it can also improve skin, hair and nails by boosting collagen production. It is a great recipe to help combat symptoms of upset stomach, influenza and the common cold. To make this recipe even more flavorful and nutritious, you can add chopped organic carrots and celery.

Chicken Broth
1 organic whole chicken
1 yellow sweet onion
2 to 3 garlic cloves
Water (enough to cover chicken)
Place chicken in a large pot or Dutch oven with water to cover. Peel the garlic cloves and outside layer of the onion and add to the pot. Boil until chicken is very tender and done (180 degrees on a meat thermometer).
Remove chicken from the liquid.
Put pot with broth in the refrigerator (leaving in garlic and onion) for about 24 hours or until the fat rises to the top. Strain the fat away, remove garlic and onion, and place broth in freezer bags (about 1 cup per bag).
Debone and chop the chicken. Measure one cup chopped chicken into freezer bags.
You can use these in soups, casseroles, rice pilaf, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy.
