Rotisserie Chicken Broth - Use your leftover rotisserie chicken to make this easy broth, and you will never have to buy broth from the store again.

Even after you have eaten every last delicious bite of meat from your deli rotisserie chicken there is still life (or dinner) left in it. You can make a wonderful and flavorful chicken broth from your leftovers and just a few vegetables. Leftover rotisserie chicken recipes are a great way to make sure you get every penny’s worth out of your food. Once you see how easy it is to make your homemade chicken broth, not to mention how much better the flavor is you will never want to buy it in the carton again. This is a basic recipe using common vegetables to flavor the stock, but you can use any vegetables you have on hand, and it will still create a rich delicious stock. I have also used asparagus, zucchini, squash, bell peppers, and leeks to add flavor to my homemade broth recipe with wonderful results.

How to Make Chicken Broth from a Rotisserie Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 1 cooked rotisserie chicken carcass (bones, meat and all)
  • 1 large onion
  • 2-3 stalks celery
  • 2 carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 Tbsp fresh or dried parsley

Directions:

Place chicken carcass in a large stock pot, cover with cold water; for me, this came to about 12 cups of water. Rough chop vegetables and place in pot with chicken.

    My brother has been simmering for almost 2 hours and smells amazing! However, most of the liquid has evaporated. Do I add more water?

      Yes. Keep the bones covered until everything falls apart. You are basically just making more stock if you add water albeit slightly less concentrated . The veggies will burn if you let too much water boil away.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
