Poached Chicken & Chicken Bone Broth

My poached chicken and chicken bone broth recipe initiates the foundation to healing the gut, by all means it is not the only consideration that needs to be made when exploring health of the gut.  To learn more about this multifactorial  industrious yet fragile system I have written an Online Course on Digestive Health click this link https://drjoabbott.com/product/digestive-system-health/to learn more.

Ingredients (for 12 litres of broth): Poaching the chicken meat: Cook for 2 hours

• Organic whole chicken
• Filtered water
• 1 cup organic apple cider vinegar
• 2-3 organic celery sticks
• 3 medium sized organic carrots
• 1 organic onion
• 2x organic garlic cloves
• 2 organic bay leaves
• 2 sprigs of organic thyme
• Juice of 1 organic lemon
• 1 tbsp organic black pepper corns
• 1 tbsp organic unrefined sea salt

Bring all ingredients to the boil, then gently simmer for 2 hours.  Remove the meat and gristle from the chicken and put aside to eat now or add to another meal.  Remove all the vegetables and discard, then place the chicken carcass back in to the pot. We then leave the chicken carcass to steep in filtered water with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar for 1 hour.

Ingredients: Making the bone broth: Cook for a further 22 hours

• Organic chicken carcass (meat removed)
• Organic chicken giblets
• 1 cup of organic apple cider vinegar

Storage

I tend to make a batch about 12 litres in total volume and then use 1 litre storage bags to freeze the broth for the base to other dishes i.e. stews, or to save for another day as a hot drink.
