Chef’s Secret

To enhance the flavor of store-bought low-fat chicken broth, simmer it with a few aromatics like onion, carrot, celery, and a bay leaf for 15-20 minutes before use.

Substitutions

Best Match

Regular Chicken Broth

1:1

Closest substitute; may be slightly higher in fat and calories.

Vegetable Broth

1:1

Good for vegetarian/vegan needs, but lacks chicken flavor profile.

Water + Chicken Bouillon

As directed

Convenient pantry staple, adjust for saltiness and potential artificial flavors.

White Wine

1:1 (for deglazing/sauces)

Adds acidity and depth, but not a direct flavor match for broth in larger quantities.

Buying Guide

Look for low sodium options, natural ingredients, and no artificial flavors.

Flavor Pairings

Soups stews gravies risotto braised meats pan sauces.
