Dried Chicken Broth

Dried chicken broth is made by simmering chicken bones and meat, then concentrating the liquid and drying it into a powder or granules. This process intensifies the savory chicken flavor and makes it shelf-stable. It is a concentrated form of the liquid used to make chicken stock or broth.

Manufacturers use dried chicken broth to add a savory, meaty flavor (umami) to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, gravies, marinades, spice blends, and processed meat products. Its powdered form makes it easy to incorporate and control flavor intensity.

In the U.S., dried chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and some minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar broth products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming dried chicken broth at typical dietary levels.
