Crockpot Chicken Broth & Sandwich Meat Recipe

September 09, 2008

This is a quick and easy crockpot chicken recipe that I use when I just want the meat for salads, casseroles, and the like. I usually do this with a loss leader whole fryer chicken, but you can also use a precut chicken with just as good results. Warning: try to pick the liver out, don't cook it with the broth. I usually feed it to the dog.

Ingredients:
  • Whole fryer chicken
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Optional:
  • Spices to suit (rosemary, thyme, basil, etc.)
Directions:
  1. In a large crockpot, add the carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes, pepper, salt, and any other spices you prefer. It isn't an exact science, add whatever you like!
  2. Put the chicken on top and add water until chicken is covered.
  3. Put the lid on and cook for 7-8 hours on low.
  4. When finished cooking, rinse the chicken under running water. Pull the usable meat off the bones and store in freezer bags or use in your favorite recipes.
  5. Strain the broth and store in the freezer until ready to use. To remove the fat refrigerate overnight and skim the fat from the top then freeze.
