Broth Glaze Ingredients: Chicken Broth

Chicken broth is a savory liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and vegetables in water. It is often seasoned with herbs and spices. The process extracts flavors and nutrients from the ingredients, creating a base for many dishes.

Chicken broth is used as a base for soups, stews, sauces, and gravies, adding depth of flavor and moisture. It can also be used to cook grains like rice or quinoa. Manufacturers use it to enhance the savory taste of poultry products and prepared meals.

Chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of hydration and can contain electrolytes like sodium and potassium. JECFA has evaluated chicken broth and found no safety concerns. While generally considered healthy in moderation, high sodium content in some commercially prepared broths may be a concern for individuals monitoring their intake.
