Chicken broth is a staple ingredient in many dishes, but is also a favorite around our house just as a hot beverage.

I (“Papi”) have learned from my wife and tweaked this to fit my taste. It’s generic, but never fails.

Ingredients

• 5 chicken breasts (skinless boneless, but you can use regular ones for more flavor from bones and fat!)
• 2 sticks of celery, broken in half
• 3 sprigs of green onion (alternative: use 1/2 a medium onion, whole)
• 2 garlic cloves, large, whole
• 1 T salt
• 1 t oregano
• 1/4 t ground pepper
• 6 qt filtered water

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in an 8qt pot
2. Bring to slow boil for 45 min
3. Use a ladle to pour yourself a hot cup.
4. For storage and future use, pull out the chicken, then run the broth through a sieve.

Notes

1. Green Onions: One of the keys to fantastic taste is using green onions instead of plain onions
2. Salt: Don’t skimp on the salt, but you can adjust to taste.
3. Chicken: You can pull the chicken out and use it for other meals such as chicken stir-fry, quesadillas, creamy spicy chicken, bbq chicken, chicken salad, molé, or just as a snack, slapped between some bread with mayo. Yeah baby.
