If you’ve just spent hours making the perfect homemade chicken stock, you surely don’t want it to go to waste. You may be wondering what to do with it. Chicken stock can act as a major ingredient in many delicious dishes. Here are some ways to make the best out of leftover chicken stock.
Quinoa or Brown Rice
These nutritious grains are highly nutritious and full of vitamins, but they often lack flavor. Steaming quinoa or brown rice in chicken stock instead of water is a great way to infuse the grains with great taste.
Ramen
Although you may assume that chicken stock only works with chicken noodle soup, Asian style soups such as ramen become even tastier when they’re made with a homemade chicken stock base.
Mashed Potatoes
If you’re a sucker for mashed potatoes and gravy, but you don’t have any gravy around, you’ll love this idea. Pour some fresh chicken broth into your mashed potatoes for a gravy-like taste without the extra calories and work.
Risotto
Risotto can easily be made with water, but chicken stock is a lovely way to take this dish to the next level.
