Make authentic Chicken Stock with this foolproof recipe. Packed with rich traditional flavor, step-by-step photos, and cooking tips by Denisiya on EatMee Recipes.

Chicken Stock is mostly common with various American, Spanish or Mexican dishes. It is a staple ingredient in most countries & is used in sauces, soups & even rice dishes.
Stock is an enhanced liquid preparation. It shapes the premise of many dishes, especially soups & sauces. Making stocks includes stewing animal bones or meat, seafood, or vegetables in water or wine.
The flavour of the stock originates from the ligament & connective tissue in the bones. Connective tissue has collagen in it, which gets changed over into gelatin that thickens the fluid. Stock produced using bones should be stewed for longer than stock produced using meat.
Peel onion & cut into half.
Cut the carrots into chunks.
Slice mushrooms in halves.
Place all the ingredients in a pot of water. More vegetables of your choice can be added.

Mix well & allow to simmer on low with the lid on for as many hours as possible.
Keep adding water if the water tends to dry out – you don’t want the pot to be without any liquid as the liquid hold all the flavour & will soon be the stock.
After hours of simmering & you think the chicken stock is ready to use, use a strainer to separate out the solid pieces.& pour the liquid into a bowl.
Discard of the vegetables & chicken meat or bones.
The liquid should be brown in colour.
Allow the stock to cool, then separate into portion-sized containers. Refrigerate stock for up to a week or freeze it indefinitely.

Can be used immediately in dishes such as soups, stews (Chicken Stew, Lamb Stew, etc).
