My new kitchen staple...

So if you enjoy cooking and loving having flavor in your food and don't have a lot to spend then this is for you...Shelb introduced me to Chicken Base for her recipe, Chicken Florentine. Since then I have found I use this new kitchen staple quite often. I use it when a recipe calls for Chicken Stock or Broth. I simply use 1 tsp for every cup of water. This tub has 91 servings and cost around $5. That is so much cheaper than buying chicken stock and I think they flavor is much richer than that of stock.

Here are just a few ways I have found uses for this stuff:


Rice: When boiling water for rice I add a teaspoon for every cup of water and then add the rice. Yummy!


Chicken and Dumplins: I made homemade stock with chicken, onions and celery but added a couple of teaspoons to the stock. Delicious!


Chicken Gravy: I use a cup of water, 1 tsp of base and about 2 Tbsp of flour. Make like you would regular gravy. Fabulous!


The Chicken Base doesn't have to be refrigerated either and doesn't spoil like store bought chicken broth. So much money I have wasted in the past with stock I didn't use!


I highly recommend this stuff!
