What it is
Chicken broth is a savory liquid made by simmering chicken bones, meat, and vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions in water. It is often seasoned with herbs and spices. The process extracts flavor and nutrients from the ingredients, creating a base for many dishes.
Why it's used
Chicken broth is primarily used as a flavor enhancer and a liquid base in a wide variety of savory foods. Manufacturers add it to soups, stews, sauces, gravies, and frozen entrees to provide a rich, meaty taste. It is also used in cooking grains like rice and pasta.
Health notes
Chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of hydration and can contain electrolytes like sodium and potassium. While generally considered safe, high sodium content in some commercially prepared broths may be a concern for individuals monitoring their intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated broth ingredients.
Allergen info
Chicken broth is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
