Crock Pot “Roasted” Chicken and Homemade Chicken Broth

 
Crock Pot Roasted Chicken & Homemade Chicken Broth

 

Today, my friends, you are going to get two recipes for the price of one! Ok ok it’s free, but you get my gist. A few weeks ago I shared 5 Real Food Time Saving Tips, This week I want to share with you one of my weekly real food “chores.” The best part of these two recipes is that you have like 15 minutes of prep total and the crock pot does all of the work! Making this real food “chore” a breeze. See… no excuse why you can’t eat real food if you’re busy!

Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Chicken or Chicken bones from at least 1 chicken
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 2 carrots roughly chopped
  • 2 stalk of celery roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic halved
  • 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
  • about 4 quarts of water

Instructions

  • Place chicken bones, roughly chopped vegetables into the crock pot and fill it with water, add salt, pepper, spices, and 2 tbs of apple cider vinegar. Cook for 8-24 hours. After about 1-2 hrs skin the scum off the top. The longer it cooks the healthier it is. Allow to cool an strain out bones and vegetables. Pour into jars and place into the fridge for up to a week or place in the freezer for longer storage.

Notes

Honestly, I don't wash my crockpot after making the "roasted chicken" and put all the bones, skin, some of the vegetables, and a little bit of meat back into the crock. I then usually add back in some more veggies.
