How to Make Chicken Mix And Broth

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large (8-quart) stock pot.
  2. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 90 minutes, or until chicken is easily shredded.
  3. Carefully remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly before straining the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander into a large bowl.
  4. Refrigerate the broth overnight to allow the fat to solidify and rise to the surface. Once chilled, skim off the solidified fat.
  5. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat, removing all bones and skin. Discard bones and skin.
  6. Divide the shredded chicken evenly among six 1-pint freezer-safe containers, leaving ½ inch of headspace.
  7. Divide the skimmed chicken broth evenly among six more 1-pint freezer-safe containers, leaving ½ inch of headspace.
  8. Seal and label all containers, indicating contents and date.
  9. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before use.
  10. Prep time includes cooling and shredding the chicken. Allow at least 60 minutes for this step.
